My oh my. Check out Mr. Optimist over here thinking that they’ll be time to be “historians” in between scavenging for scraps and battling the nuclear mutants for the last bottle of fresh water at the bombed out Tesco.

200 years? lmao, look everyone, this guy thinks our planet will support human life for another 200 years. At best another 80.

I mean, not to be captain optimist here, but human extinction is a bit far. Humans are extremely adaptable, even if they have to carve out a niche in the worst case hellscape they will survive.

The oil runs out in another 30 or 40; things are going to fall apart pretty quickly after that, when we won’t be able to get enough food in to maintain cities.
