Correction 'JohnDG' ... Humans and human civilisation is doomed. Extinction may be a few millennia from now imho but I do not think that the planet is in any danger.
Except for the fact were are the only species to ever clear entire country sized portion's of forest, first to suck the earth dry from the inside out, first to over fish, over hunt, over farm, over pollute and first to completely make land uninhabitable. Now I believe you know their have been other similar natural disasters, extinctions, population drop's and climatic changes. But never has anything of the same scale of what were doing right now ever happened before. Assuming with our extinction, the entire world isn't uninhabitable, I don't believe it will possibly for life to ever reach the same level as us again. I don't think the earth can repair it's self fast enough, possibly with billions of year's a monkey's level of intelligence will appear but it will appear too late. Because in a billion years our sun will super nova, not to mention every year that goes by our planet gets closer to the sun, so it will be far warmer possibly even Venus warm, if not absorbed into a red giant or blown away by super nova.
Nice little guilt trip you got going there johnDG. Whole continents have been denuded long before 'mankind' came along - the KT event comes to mind. Yes a billion years honey ...think aboot it. Earth will not escape the fate of it's parent Star...solar flares will wipe it out long before it goes nova. We are just an ugly green smear on the geological column.
So when did you realise that you have this latent 'doomsday' xtianity in you?? Let it go mate...the Earth is doing just fine...could do with a LOT less pollution YES!!! But other than that she is doing fine. We on the other hand .... haven't gotten out of the trees yet...accept for Sae...maybe?
