I actually think our biggest extinction risk in the next century for extinction risks is falling sperm counts due to microplastics. We are on track to have a sperm count level where the entire male population is infertile in two generations. And fixing the microplastic cause requires things like giving up driving since the largest portion of the microplastics in our bodies come from airborne plastic particles due to tire wear. I firmly believe humans will go extinct before they collectively give up driving en masse.
Driving is a big problem for climate change as well but we can work on solving that one with EVs and a greener power grid. We don't have to permanently depend on fossil fuels to drive. But EVs still produce the same amount of microplastics that other cars do.
