Most of the landmass on earth is unsettled. I think the apocalysm is hardly called for.
Most of the unsettled lands are less than suitable for human life. The suitable lands are rather limited.

We can and should be control the environment or at the very least its effects on us. Look at the Dutch, they've been giving rising sea levels a finger for centuries now.
