Yes as everyone loves to retort, the planet will survive! We might not, the current ecosystem wont, no one and nothing we love or care about or cherish is likely to.

But a very lovely species of bug may at some point look down and marvel at the beautiful new world they've conquered. And I guess we've collectively decided we're happy to give them that.

Isn’t everyone and everything we love or care about gonna die or go away in 100-500 years anyways?

Also hasn’t earth already survived many mass extinctions and came back stronger? Maybe this is just the next mass extinction event and the cycle repeats.

It’s quite arrogant to think that everything on earth revolves around humans don’t you think?

I bet we're gonna end up with so many cool ant species. It totally isn't going to end up with just a few trillion fire ants ruling the planet, right? Right????
