Yes, the planet will live on. But what we’re invested in is that it lives on to support ten billion humans demanding an ever increasing amount of resources per person. It’s not particularly fragile (it’s gone through things much worse than humans in the past.) But the specific conditions of the Holocene that have been supporting us so nicely are a historical aberration. The ability to support so many people and their livestock (that latter part is not to be underestimated) is much more fragile.
