Reply to comment by davion223 in International scientists find Earth is ‘unequivocally’ in midst of climate emergency. The report shows new data illustrating increasing frequency of extreme heat events, rising global tree cover loss because of fires, and a greater prevalence of the mosquito-borne dengue virus. by Wagamaga
The planet will be fine. Humanity won't be.
We will lose our biodiversity, I suspect in the region of 90%. But there will always be organisms that can adapt. There's not a chance humanity will adapt fast enough. We haven't been here long enough. We have had 3 million years of being recognisable humans, in context sharks and crocodiles have had 200 million plus, ferns and horseshoe crabs even longer. They've basically been unchanged. In the same time period, mammals have changed dramatically.
Eventually of course life will recover. Long after humans have gone.
