If you’re one of those people that believe the planet will do better without mankind on it, then I guess it is a win-win.
Alternatively, If you were an impartial bystander observing the process, I suppose it would be a difficult decision to decide whether to support the survival of mankind whilst killing off millions of other species, or just let us go extinct and keep the other species alive.
The planet would do just fine without us
