No, mass death and wars would be "you are currently dying in the fire". There is a fire, it has already destroyed many things, but it hasn't yet reached the sofa, where we are currently sitting complacently.

"You are currently dying in the fire" Would be humanity is extinct. Mass death and wars don't mean humanity is doomed.

No, extinction would be "you have died in the fire". "Mass deaths" is what the process of going extinct looks like.

I'm not sure where you are from but in my reality you don't really bounce back when you are dying in fire.
