What you say makes sense, changes happen. Species extinction is happening. What you, as a human, should consider is your survival, which is dependent on the survival of other species. Those species which have disappeared have changed the ecosystem. This is inevitable. That you do not feel this change as a person living in a city and consuming your consumer goods is another.
What this movie is trying to say is that you shall see the impact when it will be too late to reverse the situation.
You trust humanity will adapt, i think so too. The question is at what cost? Do you prefer to organise a global preventive project aiming at harmonising human activity with the ecosystem it depends on, or do you prefer to wait until the momentum when hunger, thirst, disease, flood, migrations, wars will annihilate 90 % of the world's population and allow the few that survived to adapt as they could? I prefer the first, i don't want to have to look at my child dying and saying: "sorry kiddo, i have no food for you."
And yes, if oils dry up and if no sufficient pre-emptive solutions have been deployed, civilisations will die. But the funny thing is that large cities and rich nations are much more vulnerable than the masais are. We call ourselves homo-sapiens but in reality the conditions for being that (e.g. the ability to make fire) are not even here. Most of the world is populated by babies. Most people have no clue how to make fire, soap, houses, grow food etc...
The future will tell anyway. If human kind indeed destroys it own environment, which would be the proof of their stupidity, their disappearance would be a good riddance anyway.
