Please reread my comment. It will stabilize it will just take an epoch. We will be very dead and extinct before that happens planet will be fine though It's been through far worse. I for one am excited to see what survives the next great dying.

My field is not climate change Nor am I an climate historian, but if I remember correctly take something like 25 to 35 million years give or take for the current excess carbon to be sequestered naturally

Sorry to be an ass but the stupid "the Earth will be fine" nonsense needs to end. Nobody thinks we're going to "kill" all the rocks, and earth's core, and the mantle and mountains lol. We're talking about our fucking habitat and ecosystem we need to survive.

We and many/most other species cannot survive/adapt fast enough to a fast and catastrophic change to our habitat, which we absolutely objectively are causing. Just because we could possibly survive this because of our ingenuity and intelligence is completely irrelevant. I don't want our greatest challenge as a species to be figuring out how to survive a dystopian apocalyptic scenario because of extreme greed and selfishness. I'd prefer our species challenges to be things like star trek warp drives and replicators and holodecks and other cool stuff instead, but no we gotta keep making sure billionaires make even more money.

I'm not very excited for the suicide of humanity
