I know the joke here is that we’re just in an endless cycle, but if this happened now and we reverted to stone age sun god worshippers, we’d find it a LOT harder to redevelop modern technology. We’ve literally plundered the reachable raw materials in the ground, and scoured the biomes.
The biomes would eventually recover (and become something new), but all that nice reachable coal is gone. We may not make it if that happens.
