There will be fewer humans, perhaps 5% of what we have now - that’s what I glimpse from all the literature. That is not good news: as life will be much less “developed” as a result.
Yes I agree on the likely outcome that the world will be "less developed". But this always makes me think that we should choose this outcome rather than wait for it. That way we'll have more control and we may limit some damage.
If we have to go "back", whatever that means, I'd rather do it voluntarily as the urge to always go "forward", whatever that means, seems to be an underlying cause of our problems.
Basically you are arguing for a soft landing of the climate collapse. Most scientists agree to that.
Whew! Good thing the scientists are in charge
