It’s a common misconception that the planet as a life bearing vessel is in danger - it is not. It’s just that human civilization is probably fucked (and thousands of other species).
Some scientists warn 70% of species could go extinct within the new few centuries which would massively dent the ecosystem, also the rates of extinction are massively high. All bets are off at that point. Chaos theory will reign supreme.
I agree that life will probably continue but I also wouldn’t be massively surprised if we fucked it so bad that most major ecological systems are basically gone. Maybe some ultra persistent bacteria and algae will remain and start again.

They will. Mass extinctions worse than what we would cause have happened in the past.
“Life, uh, finds a way”
We’re just not part of it
MRSA will rule the day !
