Unless we get serious about global warming and habitat preservation, we’re screwed. The earth will eventually revive. Just without us and a ton of species we drive to extinction.
Um, this picture is of an orca eating a baby seal, not a sea otter. And one of the fun things that sea otters do for fun is rape baby seals. Otherwise, they are truly a lynchpin species whose loss is catastrophic for kelp forest ecosystems, and they are truly cute.
In California, as you may know, the lack of kelp beds (maybe 90 percent depletion) are thought to be the reason for sea otters being over predated by white sharks. We’ve already fucked up nature; we need to also fund and support people who try to understand it.

Minus a catastrophe that takes out 3/4 of the human population, it’s way too late to stop it.
We can slow it, but it’s too late to stop it. And no, that’s not a cop out.
