Who will go to form a new civilization and have absolutely no clue as to who the hell we were because we so creatively and ignorantly destroyed everything about ourselves.
And those descendents will probably go on to just repeat all the mistakes we’re making now.
Gonna be hard for them to repeat the exact mistakes now that we’ve blown through all the easy to access coal and oil. It might not be possible to get industrialization off the ground a second time
They will burn the plastic, duh
England basically deforested their entire island to burn wood before the industrial revolution. Without easy to access coal or oil, I imagine those future generations will burn all the trees everywhere to maintain their development.
