The silver lining to global warming is that we're not actually going to destroy the world.
We're 200 years into a genuinely tragic mass extinction event of our own making and we'll be just one victim.
But we've had a bunch of mass extinction events and the planet will soldier on quite happily without us, with wonderful new species coming to inhabit whatever our corpses watch over.
