At least once we’re all gone life will have a renaissance in a million years or so.
There is scientific papers about this and they say in 15 million years we will get back to full diversity and niche occupation after human extinction. Hotter earth would even theoretically have higher diversity since warm wet ecosystems have higher energy flux potential
Neat!
Just like Venus.
… wait…
It is possible, though unlikely.
Don’t have kids, lol.
Eventually, a lot hotter than Venus is today. But that will take over a billion years, or so.
