How far-fetched is such a scenario? Thanks

Nuclear winter, runaway global warming, complete breakdown of biological diversity.
There's three right off the top of my head. The last two are distinct possibilities and are approaching tipping points as we sit with our thumbs up our butts.
The first is a scenario I hope we never are in a position to validate.

When all mammals extinct,but insects survive, there will be a great revolution. Because of the vast empty space left by mammals, insects will take opportunity by growing in immense numbers and species. Remember the concept of the food chain, so, some insect eat plants in large quantities to survive (of course they do not eat stones to help in digestion!). Well, some carnivorous insects may become aggressive and deadly, they might develop strong poisonous fangs, extra wing flaps frequency, sharp eyes, quick fliers with extremely sensitive organs to detect prey and catch them efficiently. For me, some may also grow into giants (but not as gigantic as elephant, say!)
there are a lot to say too if you want me to say it all out!!!

well, there's always the possibility of the Great Insect Revolution. I'm betting on it being in the next 30 years at most.
