> Environmental concerns are selfish.

That's overstating it.

Yes, life will go on. But it's not only us that will die - as you say, much of the marine ecosystem will die off, we're not the only animal that has problems with wet bulb temperature (most don't even sweat), and humanity isn't going to die of starvation before we make everything remotely edible out there extinct first.

Life is going to look extremely different, it's not just us.

That’s still a shortsighted view, regardless of human activity or presence other species will continuously go extinct including mass extinctions. That’s the entire history of life, evolution and extinction. The only way to intentionally prevent extinctions is with human intervention but humanity has to be around and technologically advanced and rich enough to do such things. It’s one of those put your own oxygen mask on first situations.

I'm pretty sure they meant 'selfish' in a positive way, to emphasize that we are not aiming to 'save the planet', we should save ourselves. If we all die, the planet and its ecosystems will be fine eventually anyways, they still have about 4 billion years to restore itself.
