If grass never existed, then most of the world would be unable to develop agriculture. But a few starchy mass produceable crops are possible; potatoes and quinoa being the ones that spring to mind first. So onward Incan empire!

Not just long distance travel in space. But imagine putting the injured or sick into suspension until reaching the hospital or develop a cure for X. Or just safer surgeries without risky drugs; poor anesthesiologists out of a job though.

I had one world in which the invention of Nuclear Dampers just makes people willing to use nuclear bombs, and now a few heavily defended cities pump out war machines across eternally devastated landscape. I can't remember how I was doing food in that setting. Quote:

We'd also have beans left over, and while historically we couldn't live off of them, modern science may have changed that.

I don't think an "extinction of the grasses" world would ever reach "uninhabited" status except in the most relative of terms. It would be a Hell World while food supplies were scarce. As a post-apocalyptic scenario, the main issue would be the re-establishment of food supplies using the surviving foodstuffs; the longer it takes to re-establish food supplies, the more P/A the scenario. Much later, the re-established food supply would support growing populations once again. |

Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
Not really... I'm thinking of canonnical hell worlds, like Lenin-2, the Gothas, and classic Lucifers ... and they all have pretty bleak long term outlooks. Sure, things might look different in a thousand years, but that's a thousand years!

End of the world as we know it, not necessarily the literal end of the world or all life on it. A dinosaur killing asteroid would count even though it wouldn't come close to killing all life.

Re: Lucy's Choice: Let's make Lucifer Parallels!
Lenin-2 is one of the less believable more exaggerated worlds based on a scrap of fact (that the Communist nations were far more ecologically irresponsible since the body controlling industry was not answerable to anyone except itself.) It's not at all likely that the described catatrophe would wipe out the plankton. Without WOG to tell me that they're all going to die, I'd expect the situation to stabilize in some fifty years.
