this is pretty anthropocentric. Sure, the world will be an awful place
for humans, but many, many other species will thrive (consider how much
better the world will be for cockroaches without humans and their pesky
Raid cans). Why should we define a world as dying just because humans
are so stupid that they provoke the environmental conditions that lead
to their own demise?
