The reality with global warming is somewhere in the middle. It’s a slow boiling problem. We won’t be all dead but billions of people will need to adapt to new climate patterns.
CO2 spiking from ~280 parts per million to 400+ parts per million is a provable fact measured independently by many labs around the world.

The science of global warming - aka CO2 and H2O capturing photons from the sun in infrared spectrum and heating up is well known physics. Experiments can be done at home.

If an asteroid hit earth like when dinosaurs were around, humans would still make it through - it would be very painful. The world would not end.
Gasoline is not the enemy. Most countries don’t like that they have to import from Russia, Saudi Arabia and the likes. The fact is gasoline is a cheap, semi-abundant, portable, energy dense, relatively safe fuel. We got nothing better atm.
Batteries are a start but to be competitive with gasoline, they need to be cheaper and >10X more energy dense.
The fact is we haven’t cracked high efficiency artificial photosynthesis at scale. Capturing CO2 + solar energy into energy dense hydrocarbons.
Our bottleneck is human ingenuity. We ought to be pouring more resources into cracking what nature has been doing for millions of years.
