I don't understand how you could have so thoroughly misunderstood my comment.

I think what they're saying is "the worst thing you can think of is already happening"

He's referring to a "grey mush" event where literally every molecule of the surface is consumed/processed for the machine's use.

That's obviously far beyond even the very worst climate change possibilities

Yeah that's a dramatic version but from our human perspective it's about the same.

Except not at all? I've not seen any climate predictions saying the surface of earth will be a denuded hellscape, but only civilization will be destroyed. Humans will not be wiped out, they'll just be living way worse. Resources will be challenging but will exist. Many will die, but not all. Biological life will shift massively but will exist.

A grey mush turns us into a surface like mercury, completely and utterly consumed.

Even in the worst climate predictions modern presenting societies will live.
