Somebody's got to be an optimist. I mean, if we have an all-out nuke disaster, the ice might melt really fast, and the thermal vent species can swim really fast to pools next to glowing nuclear craters before global cooling freezes the ice again, and they can use the radiation to mutate into humans and rats. See, no problem.
The planet goes on. Life goes on. Oooblah dee, ooooblah dah.

Let's not forget, all we REALLY know about is a small fraction of the surface of our planet. In the deep seas, we've discovered life forms that live by entirely different systems of biology that we surface creatures, that can live in tempretures and conditions we used to think barred any life at all.

Who's to say that the interior of our planet, about which we really know objectively NOTHING, isn't similarly populated?
