True but no one knows how likely life is to start up from raw materials in the first place.
It would also need to reach a balance with its planet and not simply eat up all the resources and die out.
- rosser 9y ago> It would also need to reach a balance with its planet and not simply eat up all the resources and die out. Like we're kinda doing?
- Gustomaximus 9y agoHumans are far from dying out and incredibly resilient. Things like climate change are not really about the human race surviving, more the scale and quality at which we continue to live. Both important but very different things.
- rosser 9y agoI was speaking more to the resource utilization part of the statement, but sure: technically, there will probably still be humans left, in places, if we keep going at the rate we are. If we're (as a species) lucky, that number might even exceed the minimum viable population. The individuals in that circumstance probably won't feel very lucky, though.
