News that scientists have managed to revive bacteria from the bottom of the ocean in the South Pacific is interesting because these organisms are believed to have been dormant since the age of the dinosaurs (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jul/28/scientists-successfully-revived-mesozoic-era-microbes-from-the-sea). This means that, no matter what humans manage to do to the planet, life would persist in places. I know that is not much consolation for more complicated forms of life. It would be better if we did not stress things to their breaking point.
