Not ALL life on Earth. Just a large chunk of biodiversity.

Blackberry bushes will survive until the Earth is literally enveloped by the Sun.
- Why do you guys show up with this comment every time climate change is mentioned? The fact that some life will continue should not be comforting to you when we're talking about the needless death of practically everything you've ever laid eyes on. It's OK to let that be the focal point of the conversation.
  
  I think our friend was just making a fun joke. While it doesn't do much good to hold a defeatist attitude, I can't really blame them. It's like a forbidden comfort.
  
  Technically correct. There's so much biodiversity in even the tiniest niches that new life forms will prosper in abundance and in variety. "All life" simply is anthropocentric bullshit - the opposite will come true: The demise of humankind will be beneficial to the biosphere of this planet.
  
  It's a huge relief to know that humankind will not and cannot kill "all life" - as shitty as we are in terms of nearly everything we are still not able to end everything (that'll be up to mechanics far, far beyond our capabilities).
- That chunk includes us. Hey win win!
- I got a mum I buried 3 feet down in my compost pile that’s creeping out the sides again that I think might also survive.
  
  Yes officer this comment right here.
looks like rich is back on the menu boys!
Imagine only being able to think one thing
- I like earth and being alive. Sue me.
