Oh, don't get me wrong! We absolutely shouldn't let that happen. My only point is saying "The past is worse" is to pre-empt any romanticized view of the past. Things are bad now - really fucking bad. We absolutely need to fight and fight hard, both for ourselves, our children, and human society as a whole.
Economically, I think, we'll be fine. Or, at least, there is long-term hope.
Climate? Yeah. At this point, the death toll and general human cost is going to be ugly. Arguably, it already is pretty ugly, but it's gonna get way worse.
