    The devastation we bring upon the planet will be disastrous in the short term (planet time scale), but it’s just a new set of living conditions for evolution to bump up against. Us humans and many other species decently high up the food chain will suffer greatly, but I have no question that life will continue. There’s radiotrophic fungi growing in the Chernobyl containment. Life will find a way. Humans - we’ll see.

      While true, this kinda downplays the MASSIVE amount of suffering humans will be responsible for in the process of taking ourselves out.

      Suffering is real.
