Man would pretty much be the only animal that would be left simply because man would be the only being smart enough to stockpile food in preparation for a catastrophe like that. So what would happen is the plants would slowly die off, then the insects, then the birds, then larger animals at the same time sea life would die off, no plankton, algae etc until all you would have left is a handful of humans resorting to cannibalism once that stockpile ran out. Then they would die off and all that would be left would be certain bacteria that can survive on methane and other gases. That was the catastrophe in the book/movie “The road” and when it came out liberals of course said the catastrophe was global warming which is laughable. If it was global warming with an excess of CO2 the planet would resemble a rain forest. That book ended up winning the Pulitzer prize. I don’t think they realized Cormac McCarthy was also commenting on radical environmentalism besides the importance of role models. The book was a million times better than the movie like most books are, the kid in that movie was completely miscast.

I think I saw that movie, or some of it. Didn’t seem to be much action for a lot of it.
