Yep. With a decent die-off the planet will rebound. A warming planet creates the perfect petri dish for newer, and far more deadly, viruses. Over half of known pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by the same. Meanwhile the species of planet Earth are in for a wild ride, the likes of which have never been experienced before. Could have been averted. Shame.
I remember in the 90's when global warming first got to be a thing the antis denied the earth was getting warmer. The internet was plastered with fake satellite pics showing the arctic ice sheet getting bigger every year, and families of happy polar bears cavorting on the ice. Then they backed up a little, maybe the earth was getting a little warmer but it was due to the sun's normal cycles. Nothing to do with human activity. And what about the unusually cold weather in Tazmania. Some "scientist" wrote a paper about how CO2 from volcanos caused ice ages. Now they accept that maybe the earth is getting a little warmer and CO2 may be part of the reason. But they stress that "many scientists" don't think it's real, and the ideas for fixing it are actually a plot to destroy America.
Now, like you said, it's too late. Maybe a thousand years from now the remaining humans might talk about a time when neo-luddites managed to gain power just long enough to destroy the earth. Or maybe they will blame
vaping.
Guess I'm having one of those days.
