But it is a tragedy we are causing another great extinction. Life that was will never be again.

And , a few eons waiting, perhaps some more, we are back somehow, somewhere , in some form 🙂

Please forgive me, as much as I agree with your message, but this photo is not the one referred to as ‚Pale blue dot‘, but another, perhaps even more iconic one called ‚Earthrise‘ (which, I assume, you certainly know …)

An absolute tragedy, that we are causing. But yeah, life of some kind will survive humans.

I wonder what kind of species will fill the niches after #homoSapiens disappears. I hope it will be #HomoSocialis because the ‘sapiens’ part did not work.

As the great late George Carlin aptly said: "Why are we trying to save the earth? The earth isn't going anywhere. WE ARE."

Amazing the homo rightards survived.

Mostly what will be left is a layer of decayed fission products.

It really put things into perspective. It's interesting how irrelevant our value systems are in the long-run.

Ditto. Those of us who reside in our Muddypools date back some million, billion years ago...We are unearthed either by forces of Nature or Humans in one form or other. Remains plastered, shipped,carbon dated, pieced back together (not always accurately), sold to the highest bidder to (laughingly) ending up or down once again in Muddypools, only the next phase we'll have to make room for all you Humanoids...do or will you burn as good as us fossil fuels of today, tomorrow you think???

At this rate, prolly not. 🙁

I thought mammals appeared before the end of dinosaurs?

Time is running out for Life on Earth, though. In about only 500M years, the end stages of the Sun will render the Earth uninhabitable.
