Curious on some replies here. I always hear having bees go extinct would be horrible for us. Curious if that’s the worse?

    Definitely the phytoplankton since it provides the bulk of Earth’s oxygen production. Oxygen only exists because the ecosystem replenishes it. If all oxygen production stopped it would only take a few thousand years to deplete completely. Oxygen binds quickly with everything around it.
