>>21018475It's really only extinction at the epicenter. It'd be like, a continual nuclear bomb going off without the explosive shockwaves/radiation. Sure, the local 10 miles or so are fucked, but certainly not the planet.
Question: What happens if most of Earth's water is evaporated due to Harsh Sun? Wouldn't the atmosphere become extremely humid, decreasing the need for fresh water? And the dew gathering at night would be tremendous. Sure, the equator and surrounding areas would be fuck, but above/below the (ant)arctic circles, I imagine land would be quite lush.
