We survived an ice age, though, and we’re very highly adaptable. Plus, we will hold on to some percentage of technical knowledge that will help us adapt faster.

I think you’re selling us short! 😜

We survived by reverting to areas that were not covered in ice. The areas under direct influence of the ice age did not remain inhabited. We didn’t really adapt. We just had another place to go. In this case, we don’t.

  That’s where we disagree. I think there will be small inhabitable areas of the planet for centuries, at least. If not, there are caves. Humans are nothing if not -persistent.-

    We’ll see. Bedouins might be able to survive, indeed.
    
    Though, I’d wish for my children and grandchildren to be among the ones who will keep thriving. It’s not the easiest thing to organize.
