No Stephen, you missed the point entirely. The worst that can happen is
run away warming that makes Earth largely uninhabitable. Is that likely?
I don't know. Is it possible? Yes. Your choice, their future.


If it wasn't for Global Climate Change, most of the northern hemisphere
would still be covered in glaciers, and humans would number a few hundred
thousand hunter-gatherers. The Earth has been MUCH warmer than it currently
is in this current interglacial period, and it WILL become much colder
again. The only constant when it comes to climate is change. Life adapts.

It is certainly reassuring that life will continue on Earth after humans
are gone.
