But if yellowstone goes up (Its way overdue) or an asteroid strike, like in the Yucatan 65 million years go, its all over anyway. I don't think its possible to sterilize the planet, but we've no clue what future lifeform will dominate 10 million years after that event. I doubt that it will be human, we seem bound and determined to exterminate us in any event with fauci leading the march. We have also discovered we can vote us a subsistence life, forgetting TANSTAAFL. We do that at our species risk.
