    A little or a lot more every year. Though humanity is pretty resourceful and nature has tardigrades, “never say never” to some post-apocalyptic 10k populations of one or the other surviving somewhere.

      Right, collapse of modern civilization doesn’t necessarily mean the extinction of humanity. We certainly won’t be able to support 8-10 billion people, and not at the level of technology and luxury we enjoy, but I could see countries or cities with several million soldiering on.

    Of course. This will hold back humans getting off the planet for thousands of years. We got kind of close this round, will probably need another 3000-5000 years before the rock is left behind.

      If petroleum ends up functionally depleted and it cannot be extracted from our cycle’s detritus, it’s more likely to be millions of years. Likely we will never leave this rock again.
