Probably 100% cow pastures.

Personally I am not able to get excited about the prospect, with the knowledge that it happens on the back of millions of species going extinct all over the globe.

This is one of those beliefs that can lead to a slippery slope. Yes, from an empirical perspective it needs to happen. But are we okay with how it’s likely to happen? Because the path we’re on has the honest and humble proletariat taking the brunt of the blow while the elite lap up the freshly available assets.

Any attempt to alter that trajectory will probably lead to the same tribalistic and knee-jerk violence that breeds authoritarianism and racism and will not further the progressive cause of coexistence.

So no matter what happens, we’ll likely end up in the same place a few hundred years later.

Or maybe I’m wrong?

And the Canary islands too. I wonder if there's precedent from them going extinct in mainland Africa and the naturally returning

Always the poor, disabled, marginalised, chronically ill, non first world, will be hit the hardest and die at the highest rates.

The majority of other species wont survive or adapt though. And all because of something we caused. It's not only humans sharing this Earth, even though a lot of us sure acts as if that is the case.

That’s if we survive WWIII, disease, and climate change.
