Somehow we manage to both underestimate the delicacy of ecological & climate systems essential to *humanity thriving* but also overestimate our destructive power against Earth in the long term.

Many think if we set off all of the nuclear bombs we could erase life from earth. Not even close. The Siberian traps couldn't do it! Our weapons are toys in comparison.

Is it cold comfort to think: if humans die, well, we'd at least leave a scar?

In reality? over deep time? It won't even be a scratch.
