It’s like the poem “Fire and Ice.” “Some say the world will end in fire, and some say ice. From what I know of men’s desire, I hold with those who favor fire…” And from what I know of humankind’s willingness to escalate conflict, nuclear fire is the mostly likely and probable end of human beings. There will be a burnt planet left behind, and all the scars that show some insufficiently stable form of humanoid life once existed here. And that’s how earth will continue on, without us.
