        No, life in general would be fine. It will be (already is) a mass extinction but earth had a couple of those and life will bounce back.

          The worst case scenario is turning Earth into a planet with a climate like Venus’s.

          A planet that proves the existence of runaway greenhouse effects btw.

          It is theoretically possible that life exists there, but multicellular life is considered unlikely, and we’ll probably never get to take surface samples, given it’s been measured at 464 Celsius.

          We probably can’t fuck up the planet that badly, but toss in a nuclear exchange to greenhouse effects and an unfortunate volcanic eruption or two?

          You say that as it’s not a big deal.

          Do you really want to see a world without dolphins, pandas, tigers, anacondas…?

            We’d be dead as well, so wouldn’t see them anyway.

            Also, the world is pretty cool without dinonsaurs. It will still be pretty cool with what ever comes after what we currently have.

              I can’t explain how knowing all the animals you grew up loving will die forever is sad. If you don’t feel it you don’t I guess.

                Well, I could imagine it if I wanted to make myself sad. But I, personally, will be dead long before even the last Panda. So it’s really just a hypothetical.
