Re: 50 years later
I am hopeful for the future of the planet. We will completely trash the place and wipe ourselves out along with a lot of the biodiversity. However, in a hundred thousand years or so Earth will rebalance and flourish again. Our home has survived catastrophes and mass extinctions before and it will survive one of our making.

Well, that did not go as I expected! I thought it was a picture of beauty and hope, and might cheer people up.
