We'll be fine. We'll have to make adjustments, but we'll be fine. So will the planet, and so will the vast majority of animals.

- tialaramex 2y agoYes, the damp rock will be fine. Humans aren't likely to die out directly, although scenarios where it all seems a bit pointless and the remaining few million humans stop reproducing are plausible.
- MSFT_Edging 2y agoThe vast majority of animals are cattle/livestock for meat production. If we want to be alright, we'll probably want to start reducing the cattle headcount.
- mitthrowaway2 2y agoHmm, I'm really not sure about that. There are events in the geological record in which the vast majority of animals were not fine, and I'm not convinced that humans would be among those that make it, adjustments or not.

- colordrops 2y agoIf you are a meth addict, you don't say "I'll be fine" to deal with the problem. You've got to make changes, or else you are fucked.
- MrVandemar 2y ago"Vast majority of the animals" You know that the extinction rate of species (which includes animals) is running at approximately 200 per day. Unless you mean the vast majority of animals in the sense of numbers of individual animals, instead of diversity of species, then maybe you're right: the vast majority will be fine as the biomass of domestic animals now outweight the biomass of every other species.
