@pkw These organism already exist under the so-called extremophiles. But they would have to work hundreds, thousands or even millions of years.
Now, at the moment, humans are effectively eradicating big parts of the species that make up our planet and ensure that it is this wonderful and unique planet. These living beings are often more sensitive and go before us. 😭 https://earth.org/sixth-mass-extinction-of-wildlife-accelerating/

Researchers say reducing emissions and biodiversity loss and preventing invasive species could control disease
