"realist" to say the human race won't exist? Uhh... no way. That's hardly realistic. We've survived many thousands of years so far... I'd certainly imagine we can last another thousand.
After all... not even a thermonuclear war would COMPLETELY extinguish the human race...
Oh, and some scientists do live in Antarctica... but I see no reason for further colonization unless it is as you say practice for other planets... and even then its very different due to its ice terrain and not dirt...
Oh, and yeah, decay and the rise of other parts of the world is the way I'd expect the American Empire to fall just like many before it.
