The scale of your perspective is of little importance.
There exists objective, observable evidence of the fact that life has cycled continuously throughout the existence of this planet and there is none to suggest that this will change at any significant point in the future.
The ONLY data on the earth warming as quickly as it is, is the data we’re gathering right now as shatter record after record. We don’t know where these positive feedback loops end, or how any life will handle it.
How life did during the ice age or dino-meteor etc doesn’t mean shit - we have zero examples to pull from that are comparable to what’s happening right now.
In what ways do you feel the great oxidation event is comparable enough to what’s happening today that allows us to confidently rule out a worse case scenario a million years down the road?
You somehow have the hubris to assume that life as we know it to exist is the only form of life that can exist.

By all accounts life on this planet isn’t special.
It’ll be fine. We won’t.
This planet is the one and ONLY account of life. That makes it pretty special imo.
And also makes it apparent how ridiculously the odds are stacked against life.

My guy look up the great oxidation event. Life continued after the planet basically chemically burned away a vast majority of organic material.
