What would happen?

As the healing commenced, Earth and her biosphere would breathe a vast collective sigh of relief.

Sentient plant life takes over.

CO2 Would be back to pre-human levels (Although it might take even longer)




This isn't true.

There's nothing to indicate that CO2 levels would drop and only evidence that it will continue to rise even without humans.


Let's put it a different way:

Even if humans didn't exist, CO2 levels would have continued to rise.

What we have done, however, is caused CO2 levels to rise more quickly than it normally would. In some models, much more quickly. But it would be "offset" in a few short years if all anthropogenic CO2 emissions ceased immediately.

C02 has never been proven to be a real thing by any scientific institution that publishes reports that fit my convenient world-view that absolves me or my kind of guilt and responsibility. I mean, I've never seen C02 with my own eyes, and that's literally the only thing I trust.

Haven't read up on it but not sure you're taking anything but emissions into account. I.e. not factoring in how much photosynthetic organisms will have reclaimed huge swathes of the earth in 100,000 years.

Nothing would Happen. Animals would Kill Each Other and Make More little animals. That is IT.

Until the Super Volcanoes kill off all life on the planet or a Asteroid Hits the Planet and does the same thing.

So yeah.

Well yeah, but the decay process (of manmade structures) would be hella cool...!

I was reading about human C02 emissions and how quickly it reclaims our fractional output. If we ceased to exist, our output would be completely absorbed in 2-3 years, not 100,000.

Dogs would probably become extinct. That would be Sad.

Dogs will start breeding with Komodo's after humans?

I want a a Dogmodo NOW!!!!!

Man
