Humans have largely rejected the EV movement because charging a car is a little less convenient than pumping dead earth juice into their car.
Yeah, we ain't stopping. Fortunately Earth is hearty. A few million years, infinity to us but nothing to the 3.8 billion year old living biome, and the fever that was humanity will be long dead and paradise will exist anew for hopefully something better than we were to inherit. If not, back to the drawing board.
We fashion ourselves the God masters of this world, but we never were, and even the war we're waging on our home has no chance of sterilizing it. The sun gets that honor in a few billion years when it starts to destabilize into a red giant, swallowing Earth and its history with it.
