2000 years? How about 200? Assuming no major cultural backlashes to reverse the course of the last 120 years, there's no reason to think that more cultures won't be absorbed by the melting pot. I read somewhere where the majority of Americans can now their ancestry back to at least two separate ethnic groups. Personally, I've got German, Irish, English, Scot, Cherokee, Italian and Bohemian that I know of, and 500 years ago, there wasn't that much mixing between those groups.
As far as the rest of your post, well, maybe you're right and maybe we'll have evolved into a much stupider version, more environmental friendly version of humanity when the ice caps melt and society breaks down. I think either version has an equal chance of success at this point, although I'd much prefer yours than mine.
