    …I feel like you totally missed the point. Destroy all humans. Humans are now extinct. Erase their effects on the planet. And rebuild the ecosystem with species that are healthy for the planet.

    Humans make the mistake of thinking that they are the most important thing in existence, and the world would end without them. This planet has survived countless exinctions of species in the past. It’ll survive just as well without us.

      Coal ain’t coming back. The Carboniferous isn’t going to happen again because the mycological consciousness knows how to deal with lignin already.

      Replacing the oil I know less about, but it would take millions of years to replace what we’ve burnt/processed if it was produced at historical rates.

      The planet would survive, sure, but why should we care that it does without us? Meaning is something that we invented, without someone to assign it, an ecosystem is little more valuable than a rock.
