Risks imposed by climate change are dire in terms of lives, economics, and wellbeing, but even in the worst scenario are unlikely to cause a global extinction of humans.

While I enjoy many of Schmachtenberger's ideas, he's wrong about this. Evolution definitely increases entropy, if it didn't it couldn't exist. I can't tell how important this is for his overall argument but it seems like a pretty basic physics mistake to make. https://civilizationemerging.com/new-economics-series-4/
