This looks incoherent. You call overshoot "very likely" and "near extinction due to climate change conditional on overshoot: somewhat likely". Even if I interpret those as .7 and .2 respectively, we wind up with an unconditional probability of at least .14, which I hope is not what you mean by "theoretically possible but unlikely". If that is what you meant then I do not understand how the world looks to you, or why you're not spending this time fundraising for CSER / taking heroin.
