The planets bio-diversity has the ability to adapt to consume an excess resource and the ability to survive in general.
The plastic eating bacteria starting to evolve within the plastic floating island is a great example. Less than 100 years and we have something starting to adapt to a newly available resource. Nature adapts a lot quicker than she is given credit for me thinks.
Birds are a good example of survival from the last extinction event.
But what level of bio-mass and bio-diversity will be around in 2100 is anyone's guess. I think it getting pretty close to not being able to eat food without mirco-plastics present now, both in land and sea based protein.
