The world is fucked. Humanity will survive, but not without any hardship. We’ve already gone past the best age for humanity (or the western world, at least), which was the year 2000.
I don’t think things started truly going downhill until shortly after smartphones became mainstream.
Probably around the iPhone 4 era was when we past the point of no return. Just the next generation of greedy-shitbags out-greeding their shitty parents.
lol. it started going downhill by the 80’s. It was just real slow initially but that was our chance to double down and concentrate on doing everything with the effects on the environment being the top concern. 2000 and beyond is just where the fall got fast enough for regular folk to notice due to the acceleration. Which is still going so whatever changes you have seen in the last 10 years you should see that much in the before the next 10.
I wouldn’t be so sure about humanity surviving. It all depends on how many tipping points we hit and how bad warming actually gets. There’s no way we stop at 3°. Existence for any humans will be incredibly fraught.

I’ve got to admit, I really didn’t expect The Matrix to be quite that accurate.

Yeah, we started going in the wrong direction when Reagan removed Carter’s solar panels from the White House.

The Natives were right.
I guess it’ll be their time to shine in the coming generations.
