Humanity will survive this but everyone will suffer the effects. Even something relatively minor like COVID had great effects to the global economy, but with these we are talking about:

  • Weather inestabilization, with greater storms and massive heat waves.

  • General crop failures in many places of the world.

  • Desertification in many areas.

  • Massive migration waves.

  • Very difficult and unstable economy.

We are starting to see some of this, but 2050 onwards is going to be a very difficult time for all humanity except the most wealthy.
