 More boundless optimism: humans might constitute an existential
threat to many species on Earth (including humans themselves) but
life as a whole has and will survive worse.

No killing off all life on earth is very hard since it started in conditions that would not a allow complex life to survive. It might
take some time to re-emerge from the seas again and perhaps no other
intelligent species will show up in the course of future evolution.
So that is not the problem but the problems that we face as humans will likely increase and become evident in the next 100 years.
Can we do anything about it. Only if we can find the
will. If we don't do anything now the problems will be worse
that the people alive then will face.
As for me I am 87 YOA and I doubt I will last until
the collapse of our present society. I hope not since I am
no more or less dependent on present circumstances than
anyone else.
