      Well think it through. Even if the world heats up by 10°C, Antarctica will still be at a livable temperature. People will eek out an existence there like living on Mars, with greenhouses and suits to go outside. It won’t last forever though. Civilization collapse within 50 years, but full extinction will take some time.

          I have considered it as a reason his masters planted that in his head, yes. Or it could just be something he said once and then dementia latched on to it.

          I am fully on board with you. When I said humanity would live a few hundred years I meant “there is at least one human alive in some vault somewhere.” It’s entirely possible that you are right, and it’s certain that 99% will be dead in the time you laid out, I just think that it’s surprisingly difficult to kill 100% of anything.
