          No, life in general would be fine. It will be (already is) a mass extinction but earth had a couple of those and life will bounce back.

            The worst case scenario is turning Earth into a planet with a climate like Venus’s.

            A planet that proves the existence of runaway greenhouse effects btw.

            It is theoretically possible that life exists there, but multicellular life is considered unlikely, and we’ll probably never get to take surface samples, given it’s been measured at 464 Celsius.

            We probably can’t fuck up the planet that badly, but toss in a nuclear exchange to greenhouse effects and an unfortunate volcanic eruption or two?

      We aren’t doing the bare minimum. We’re doing less than the bare minimum. That’s the problem.
