The land may become uninhabitable by humans, but something tells me aquatic life will be alright… Maybe not all of it, but there will be adaptation and life will go on.
That’s not to say destroying our ecosystems is ok, just that we’re probably not going to end life entirely.
There is life deep within the earth that will likely survive no matter what happens to the planet. The sun could fade, we could nuke the surface, have an asteroid completely resurface half the planet, and microbes will survive and eventually recolonize the entire world.
Not that we’d want a mass extinction of so many unique and beautiful things, but it is a comforting thought to realize we can’t really do anything that would render earth entirely devoid of life. And even if everything we know was lost, life would rise again to reclaim the rubble.

One could also say that the lack of a mass extinction event is preventing appearance and evolution of many more unique and beautiful things.
The end of one era is not “the end”, but merely the start of another era.
I like this world. I don’t want it to end.
