This is the same nonsense as the “population bomb” doomerism of the 60s.

Unless we nuke ourselves into oblivion, humanity will preserve and thrive. Today is the greatest time in the history of our species to be alive.

[Ekaros]

And we cannot even nuke ourselves to oblivion. It simply just won't happen unless we really really really work at it. Our civilisations maybe, but not everyone.

Not a great time for other species though.

Also, just because today is good, doesn't mean tomorrow will be. You could be singing your favorite song rolling through an intersection on a beautiful day, plenty can still go wrong. Some caution didn't hurt anyone.

[bequanna]

Caution isn’t the same as spreading unfounded panic.

[wyre]

The panic isn’t unfounded. There is work being done every day that shows we our on our way to collapse. To think otherwise is equivalent to climate denial.

I'm glad we're on the same page, thanks for bringing nothing to the conversation with your comment.
