I think that the idea that the human race can "destroy/wipe out the planet" is
pretty boastful. At best, we're capable of wiping out ourselves and a large
chunk of life with us - but certainly not capable of destroying the planet.
Given a few million years, things would be pretty much back to how they were
before we stumbled along, and Mother Nature would hardly hav registered a blip.
