The Earth is dying and it can live on without us once we are dead.

Do you mean only if we are dead? Or just casual rate of death?

It can and will continue on if we are all dead.

Thank you... I hate all the people who are "we'll permanently destroy the earth and it'll never recover!" crowd. Maybe for us it'll be too inhospitable and we won't survive, but nature is surprisingly resilient. From bacteria that can eat oil and plastic, to entire generations of flora and fauna living in irradiated landscapes, it will adapt and be here long after we're gone.

Yes. Ecosystems as we know them will be decimated, but whatever survives will repopulate. Worse has happened before in Earth's history.
