The Earth will heal after a couple million years, nothing to the 3.8 billion year history of terran life. Might as well be eternity to our monkey brains, but good news! We won’t be around anymore to suffer the wait.
Once our mother has dealt with the surface nuisance, at least.
I take solace in knowing we’re only destroying ourselves and many of the contemporary species unlucky enough to have existed during the short time in Earth’s history where we played pretend we were this world’s masters/owners instead of its children/subjects that we actually were.
Man, we were a rotten fucking kid.
Personally I don’t think humans are going anywhere. We might destroy most of the biosphere and a large portion of humanity but I bet in the end roaches go extinct before we do.
Anything is possible, but I would agree that barring an extinction level event. We’ll be around, although a mass kill off humans is likely in next 100 years.

Ashildr: I’ve been watching the stars die. It was beautiful.
The Doctor: No, it was sad.
Ashildr: No. It was both.
Great quote!

I love Portland! That gaming bar Ground Kontrol is so awesome!
It’s a great place! Got a little dicey during the pandemic though. :(
That absolute waste of DNA James Inhofe didn’t live to see the damage he’s caused the world.
Shareholders will be content to pay slightly higher prices to run the AC while the poors sizzle.
some of us are screaming into the void; the rest are supporting a president who gives token gestures to the environment on one hand while simultaneously blocking affordable green energy products and ramping up oil production in the name of maintaining the status quo on the other.
