That’s fearmongering. Not even WWII managed to kill even 10% of the human alive then. Climate change could have caused half of humans to die which would be exceedingly extreme in our civilization but I don’t buy extinction argument.

For other species, population goes down by half is just another day. It wouldn’t even be classified as vulnerable if it were just going down by half. A large proportion of us will suffer or die, but that is not extinction, there’s no need to over dramatize things when the fact is serious enough.
