20C is a pretty special time for humanity, that is for certain.

Extinction does not help diversity. Diversity helps prevent extinction. (Not a guarantee by any means, just the best method evolution has)
Remember that the simple (and astounding) act of procreation adds to the diversity of the species. Before, during, and after any environmental event that stresses the species and reduced diversity, procreation continues it's inexorable increase in that same diversity. Evolution demands that these two forces work in concert.

You ask questions and force readers to think and justify their position. PLEASE do not think of us as attacking you, as that is not the intent.
By all means, have your BIG THINK, but please continue to ask the questions.
