I feel like humanity has already taken some inadvertent steps to address this point by accidentally spreading the most aggressive, virulent species across the globe as invasives.
I try to plant natives where I live, to help the native wildlife that's currently here. But I have this small sliver of hope that maybe at least the worst of the invasive species will survive what's coming.
I appreciate that these tipping point events also accelerate global warming by putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but I have to think that once humans are gone, there could still ultimately be a significant slowdown? I gotta review the math.
People also act like all hope is lost. We could start scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere tomorrow if the political will was there.
