I mean, for half a billion years, the Earth's surface was largely molten. Earth'll be fiiiine...

Seriously, we're getting as hot as it's ever been while humans were around, and the change is accelerating.

(edit - got -> hot)

Earth WILL be fine, it operates on a much longer time scale. It's every living thing that's NOT going to be fine.
