I highly doubt mankind will survive. We'll evolve maybe, like other species, but no species has survived very long on this planet in terms of its geological history. The statistical evidence on the average duration of a given species doesn't bode well for us, and I don't think so highly of humans as to think we can buck the trend through intellect or will, neither of which I personally feel have much impact on the planet, again in terms of its geological age.
I wish people would wake up and realize how insignificant humans are. So pompus to assume the changes we are noticing in the planet are entirely our doing.
