For a minute there I thought I had to get off my couch, when all the while the fact is we don't have to do anything much but keep things afloat for just a few decades more! In fact, we'd best shut up about PO, because if our offspring finds out we knew about it all along, they'll turn and wring our necks come 2036!

You might be surprised how small that is. Compared with many mammal species (including chimps) humans are remarkably homogeneous, genetically speaking.
"But this is not inconsistent with the Toba catastrophe theory which suggests that a bottleneck of the human population occurred ca. 70,000 years ago, positing that the human population was reduced to a c.15,000 individuals[5] when the Toba supervolcano in Indonesia erupted and triggered a major environmental change. The theory is based on geological evidences of sudden climate change, and on coalescence evidences of some genes (including mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome and some nuclear genes)[6] and the relatively low level of genetic variation with humans.[5]"

The "survival of our species" is not important or anymore important than that of any other species, there just happens to be great likelihood that there will be also humans sharing this Planet in the coming centuries.
maybe i am misinterpreting this; if so, please forgive me. anyway here goes: are you out of your flippin mind?
