    There may be no cracks for life to hide in - Earth could be on a trajectory to going molten after a million more years of exponential greenhouse effect. The positive feedback loops we’ve set in motion will persist long after our extinction.

      Nah man. That’s not how that works. Look at the covid climate studies. And the 9/11 climate studies. Nature will survive humans. Shit it think humans will survive humans. Wait for mass extinction level human die offs and then you’ll see humans thrive again. (Objectively speaking)

        Lots of people here seem to agree with you, but so far no one’s justified that opinion with anything other than wishful, optimistic thinking.

        My stance remains that none of us, self included, have any credible insight to predict where climate change will take this planet; but that some of the potential outcomes include Earth in a state that doesn’t support even the most extreme micro-critters.

          First off, I urge you to look at EPA study’s from covids stay at home restrictions and air pollution. AND 9/11s EPA study’s of grounded airplanes and pollution.

          Second, the sun would have to explode for no life to be left on our planet. It’s insanely egotistical to think humans could possibly destroy an entire planets worth of life lol. A meteor 200 miles wide impacted the earth at 100 million megatons of impact pressure…the Tsar bomba the biggest nuke ever made is 54 megatons lol. It would take 2 Million Tsar bombas to even match the destruction of that meteor. AND lift still survived pretty well and moved on.

          I think you need to reevaluate and requantify your beliefs because hyperbole is not your strong suit.

            I’m tired of refuting that strawman shit. Please stop putting words into my mouth. They taste funky.

            You make a strong argument against… something, probably, but I’m not sure why you’re posting it here.

              Here, let me hold your hand through this one. The meteor is an example of the extreme strength in energy that was exerted on our planet. The force of such a force was about to shake up the planets health shortly. Humanities strongest “machine” is 1/2,000,000 that force.

              When humanity slowed down their societies even for a couple weeks (covid) the air pollution dropped so drastically they saw positive air quality in c02.

              When the towers fell and all airplanes stopped and we’re grounded the same occurred with air quality as with covids air quality change.

              The information above are examples of two things…

              1.humanity can have a direct impact on the future of our environments.

              1. Humanity is not capable of “destroying” all life on the planet. Even if we drop 2 million nukes, or a 175 mile wide meteor 59,000mph into the surface.

              Your original comment was extreme hyperbole. It’s not a good start to a conversation about this in a level headed discourse. When you use hyperbole to exclaim an opinion you wind up being overlooked because of how ridiculous your claims may be. It’s childish.

                Here, I hyperlinked each part of your post to the corresponding fallacy you’re attempting.

                You do have one line in there that I got nothing on, so… cheers to that. Edit- to be clear, the line above that one isn’t itself a fallacy; the hyperlink in that one is to label what the “above examples” amount to.

                  Fun. I mean really. Lots of fun to be had here. Never mind you are correct. 100%. Good job winning an argument on the Internet to prove how fucked humanity is. Whew, almost got caught being optimistic for a second there. Good thing I have you guys…
