That's not necessarily accurate. How much life do you think exists on Venus or Pluto? Sure it's hypothetically possible that some very very very primitive single celled bacteria just about survive on Venus, but is that really the future you want for this one in a billion paradise we live on?


There is bacteria that survives in lava. I'm not saying that's the future I want.

I'm simply suggesting we stop talking in vague terms, and be honest. We want to preserve our lives not the abstract notion of all life on earth.


I also want to make sure birds still flying. but you are right, our life is a better reason.
