Nature will find a way to mitigate this, at least long-term. The price will not be small though.

Since the government chooses to ignore the science and risks, the primary expected natural mitigation could be via continental scale "cleansing" over a sustained period: 10-20 missed generations x 30 years per generation = up to 600 years. That's a proper reset. Some environmental toxins like PFAS will however last much longer in the environment.
You seem to think nature has some sort of goal-directed activity. Why?
