People will propose pretty much anything because they don't want to see a rapid phase-out of fossil fuel use. The worse things are, the more out-there the things they propose get to be.

Maybe some kind of big boat that can hold a breeding pair of every animal on the planet could be of use.

They did everything they could.
But those fuckers just laid eggs. And lions had ticks.

That never happened though.

That's a neat idea but at the rate we're moving we're going to kill ourselves off well before we figure out how to do anything approaching geoengineering effectively.

Imagine if our elected leaders were scientifically literate, and our population was educated
Then we could have these nice things

Thankfully, the Earth will go on but we won't. I welcome our Orcan overlords.

As long as Earth's biodiversity remains intact; the loss of mankind will go without remorse.
Even our precious cats and dogs will forget about us, after they eat us.
But you know who won't forget? Orcas.

Worst case scenario, the bacteria that live in volcanic vents on the floor of the ocean will repopulate the earth. Humans will be just a blip that showed up, made some plastic and then disappeared.

I think Humanity's extinction is extremely unlikely. That being said, life will become much more difficult for surviving humans.

At a MUCH lower population.

I guess fossile fuel profits will cover this?

Socialize the cost of saving ourselves while protecting the profits of these companies. God were fucked up.

I'm fairly certain that there's not enough frozen water to completely submerge all land, if melted.
Haven't looked into estimates in about 10 years, but the estimates back then were just for significant lowlands being lost.

correct, the article saying we will lose coast population areas, which make up most of humanity. So we will need to move further inland. man island nations will be lost, Australia will also get an inland sea, Bangladesh will largely be lost, Netherlands will be gone, etc.
