> Chernobyl and Fukushima are uninhabitable,

People choose not to live there, but plenty of wildlife does. Which is different from saying it's uninhabitable. People could live there. People haven't because an increased risk for cancer and birth defects. Which is a far cry from saying it's not livable. Chernobyl is basically a wild life sanctuary now. Nature is doing better off because of the lack of human presence.



> plenty of wildlife does

Yup. And the same can we said for the planet. Mother Nature will adjust and bounce back. Ultimately, she's not at risk. We are.

So if it's about wildlife, CC is not a fatal issue. Again, MN will persist, one way or another. CC and Humans? That's a differnt plot arc.


Climate change is leading to many insects and other wildlife becoming extinct


Natural selection will replace them with new wildlife it might take a while, but organisms will still live there
