tribal communities of animals evolved to have mental capabilities and society on par with humans harvest ancient supertech that is used incorrectly to somehow farm and other stuff. Meanwhile some culty group is trying to revive the evil deity and its literally like gpt or something and their emblem is the logo of a different company's ai model because nobody is alive from that era to leave a comment about how they used the wrong logo. They succeed but the llm gives hallucinated information and they wipe out all the current intelligent species by following the wrong instructions to generate nuclear energy.

I would argue, there were asteroid impacts that did it a little more quickly.

Humans need to try harder to self KT line itself to that level. At this point we will only be a slight discolouration layer with sightly higher metallicity a few million years from now.

This is the crux of it, and not enough emphasis is placed on this. It is the unprecedented rate of warming more than the total amount that is of greatest concern if you've studied any paleoclimatology and seen how long it takes for natural systems to re-establish in a new climate regime.

There has been a lot of study on how the transition to the current interglacial climate affected the biogeography, and you can see how forests, coral reefs, etc. were still trying to relocate several thousands of years into it. Now, of course, they're screwed, and we have mass forest fires and the like because they have no hope of adapting anymore.

There aren't many issues in this world that Billionaires haven't caused.

You can't prove this was done by humans, so we might as well just let it continue! --Assholes

I wonder how long after modern living humans are gone it'll take the Earth to get back to balance?

Humans tend to believe we are unbeatable. In reality, in 100, 200 years we may have disappeared completely. This has happened to many other species.

Ah well, at least it was one hell of a ride!

I can see now why some people choose to become religious.
