Although some races do mix frequently, some do not. This is not a personal opinion or assertion, only an observation. I added 200
0 b/c I think that it will take some time for ALL of htem to mix equally.

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.

Yeah, yours either sounds like Mad Max or Cyberpunk-esque like Blade Runner, Matrix, Johnny Mmemnomic or Neuromancer. I wouldn't like those...
