This is true, and I find it oddly comforting. In a million years there will be no trace left of our awful species and the climate will have rebounded by then. It’s estimated that our sun has 2 billion years left, so there’s plenty of time for new life to evolve.

But this comforting thought doesn’t extend to these destructive selfish people who are destroying the only nature we’ll ever have access to. The fact that the earth will ultimately be fine doesn’t justify the destruction of nature.
