    Eventually this will happen but also the truth is natural world will rebuild with or without us. Plus with humans gone ecosystems can be naturally restored and animal populations can start thriving again.

    And seriously humanity is sadly losing faith in themselves and all shown here proves why! It's like everyone has forgotten the bible and the belief that God bought us all here for a reason. Otherwise, my alien species here can show the right ways humans and nature can be happy without any sacrifice full of inconvenience!

    Imagine the civilisations that have already been and gone? We are just the most recent. The earth has been here for billions of years 1,000,000,000. We've been here for 30,000.we are a blight on nature. Roll on the apocalypse

    Pretty good, though you forgot about human achievements from antiquity. Weird as it is (and upsetting to modern engineers and architects), today’s structures are vastly inferior to many ancient ones in terms of shelf life (the pyramids, cathedrals, the colosseum etc). Who knows how long that evidence will persist.

    There would be no "earth" as we call it without us humans since the earth is just a creation inside our minds, planet earth as we know it only exist as an idea or whatever you want to call it, it's not a physical thing you can touch or interact with.

    You’re all the best. There are several “What if’s” I’ve had that have been answered. It sounds like the only good that would come from all of this would be cockroaches going extinct. Those speedy disease ridden creatures annoy the living hell out of me. I get sick every time I see one.
