    Even if all carbon production stopped today, it would not be possible for humans to survive.

      This thinking plays into the hands of the oil execs and billionaires, if you truly believe this it should spur you into more action not inaction.

      You can lie down and die right now, if you want.

      Humanity will survive until the last star in the galactic neighborhood goes out.

      Humans though. Sure, we got like 90 years at best most of the time lol. I’m sure we will be able to change that enough in the future. Sadly I wasn’t able to make it that far.

      And if you’re serious… Stop drinking the flavor aid lol.

          Meteor, not likely anymore but it’s easily the only real killer for us now.

          There’s nothing in our neighborhood that can fry us.

          In reality there’s only two, stray objects we can see large enough to turn the entire crust into lava.

          Yellowstone cauldron? Not big enough.

          Nukes? Not enough of them.

          Small-medium asteroids. Same as nukes.

          Viruses? Not good enough to wipe out everyone.

          It’s literally stray black holes, an asteroid we haven’t spotted large enough to wipe us all out. Or alien attacks ala dark forest from LSV attacks.
