Time will correct itself. Ordinarily when you change the past, you see ripples of it throughout the timeline. But the entire world isn't subjected to the loops, they're existing alongside time that's moving normally. If we go back far enough and stop it before it starts, theoretically those ripples could happen instantaneously until it merges with the original timeline.

I don't know what that looks like. If it'll age everyone that many years, or if they'll suddenly remember anything that occurred during that lost time. It could create a paradox and destroy itself, or it could be fine. Ideally we'd leave it before it occurs, but that really depends on how this plays out.
