>I don't think that guy is denying anything. He's merely stating that the earth has gone through drastic changes _many_ times in the past.

Bringing with them tons of changes to the climate, the kind which would kill billions from famines, floods, tornadoes, heat, lack of potable water, etc, in our hugely populated modern world.

>What makes this change the final one before earth is incapable of sustaining life?

We don't merely want an Earth "capable of sustaining life". We want an Earth capable of sustaining us, the whole 8 billions, and not a hellhole of environmental disaster, famine, decertification, and so on.

I could not give less fucks if cockroaches and wolves, e.g. survive, but billions of people are wiped out...

Some people will survive, and hopefully they figure out what it is that this civilization did wrong and do a better job. This isnt the first time a human civilization has wiped itself out due to spiritual negligence, that is the myth of Atlantis.
