Unfortunately for nature we're like cockroaches. You can kill the majority of humans with a big enough asteroid, but actually wiping us out while persevering vertebrate life is a tall order. Hell it was a tall order before we even got out of the neolithic.
Are we? We haven’t been around that long enough relative to the planet. We won’t be here in another billion years.
We won’t be here in another billion years.
I don't know about you, but I sure won't be
Nothing will be here in a billion years. Setting aside the fact that no species lasts that long anyway, Earth only has a few hundred million years of habitability left, if "nature" has its way. The sun's steadily brightening as it ages and tectonic processes are causing changes in Earth's atmosphere that will eventually prevent photosynthesis from operating, at which point Earth become the domain of a few hardy strains of bacteria again.
That is, unless humans (or our very distant descendants) decide to do some meddling to keep Earth alive. There's various ways to do that, from solar shields reducing the solar influx to moving Earth's orbit farther out to stripping material from the Sun itself to moderate its output.
"Gaia" has no foresight. She will sorely miss humanity's technological descendants once the planet gets in that situation, there's nothing she can do about it herself.
There were things here a billion years ago. There will be things a billion years from now.
Humanity is a blip that will be forgotten.
My hero! She gives and takes life without hesitation. If you can't cut it, you cease to exist. There is no discussion of politics, neurodivergency, gender, or religion. 🥰
You think Gaia would embrace me in those tig ol'bitties
