  It is also on track to be nearly as… impactful as the Permian extinction. That stuff cuts both ways unfortunately.

    A hell of a lot of stuff survived the permian extinction. Now I'm not saying it's gonna be fun, but I'd bet a lot of money on humans and the species we find most useful surviving the next/current one.
