Thank you... I hate all the people who are "we'll permanently destroy the earth and it'll never recover!" crowd. Maybe for us it'll be too inhospitable and we won't survive, but nature is surprisingly resilient. From bacteria that can eat oil and plastic, to entire generations of flora and fauna living in irradiated landscapes, it will adapt and be here long after we're gone.

Yes. Ecosystems as we know them will be decimated, but whatever survives will repopulate. Worse has happened before in Earth's history.
