    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.
