I'm sure humankind as a whole will survive the global warming that has been contributed by human activity (burning buried carbon) just as it has survived two pandemics, two world wars, the recent increase in crime, and the zombie apocalypse (aka, mass smartphone addiction).
But increased tornadoes, hurricanes, forest fires and other new records in climate has and will cause more deaths. As many as those that died in WWII? I don't know, but it's still death, and that toll should be part of the total calculation for deaths and injuries caused by industry and there should be an open ear to alternatives that could possibly slow this thing down instead of just shrugging it off like lives don't matter.
