Nah ... earth has seen worse - massive hurricanes, global volcanic eruptions, giant shifts of plate tectonics, global warming, global cooling, snowball earth, endless rain, oxygen rich atmosphere, no atmosphere, asteroid impacts, environmental/ecological collapse, planet wide extinction events, gamma ray bursts, cosmic radiation, solar flares

We can just add the human species under capitalism as a small footnote to all of it.

If we don't try to save ourselves, we'll just end up as a small thin geologically odd layer in earth's history .... alien archaeologists in a few million years will see the K-Pg layer that wiped out the dinosaurs and then this thin weird radioactive layer of mismatched minerals and material that lasted for a few hundred years.

    And they sent down some astronauts

    To study our bones

    Through the miles of garbage

    Beneath all the junk that we owned

    Carbon dating beer cans

    Condoms and Twinkie wrappers

    We were something beautiful, baby

    What the hell happened?
