Well yeah sure. And the entire Earth could be vaporized and the rest of the universe wouldn’t be affected at all. It’s all about what context and scope we want to discuss.
Most of the CO2 in coal was trapped 300 million years ago. I am going to assume without further research that we as a civilization would absolutely not like to return to the atmosphere composition of 300,000,000 BCE.
I know. Cry me a river as you take yourselves out, right? If we take most of the biosphere with us though, that’s even more tragic on top of everything.
Nothing that can’t have been before, when all the coal that is still in the ground was free CO2.
Downvoters, is this wrong? I need to know. Please correct me.

No, we don’t want that. Difficult was an understatement. It’s nature that will survive, not us.
