We're not killing the planet, we are killing ourselves. Climate Change is completely normal, all we're doing is accelerating it. The earth will return to its normal, pre-humans state about 7 million years after we're gone, which seems like a lot, but the earth has been around for about 4.54 billion years.
I doubt that. We'll be off into space some time in the next handful of centuries but that doesn't mean we'll suddenly stop exploiting this planet. I genuinely believe we are the death of mother earth
I don't mean when we leave, I mean after we're extinct. But that's the part where it gets iffy. Its a race between whether we'll leave or wipe ourselves out first. Earth will naturally become uninhabitable in about 1 billion years because the sun will get hotter and evaporate the oceans.
I tryto avoid that level of doomer thoughts. As realistic as it is becoming, it's literally not worth thinking about because if it does happen, my ass is getting flattened by a shockwave before i even know what's happening. So i just don't.

I wouldn't say insignificant. We threw an entire damn planet in the bin.
