Life on earth has been through far worse than humans and recovered (in a few million years).

Different species will fill the available ecological niches.

Life will survive.

Nobody is claiming or worried that all life will go extinct. What sucks is that we are fucking over all the animals that we know and love. If elephants go extinct, there will never be elephants again. Same with whales and koalas and sloths and bees. They will all be gone forever like dinosaurs and dodo birds and thylacines and trilobites.
