I don't think we have the power to kill the planet. Consider that microbes have been found in rocks far beneath the surface of the earth. We (people collectively) seem to be destroying the means of supporting ourselves and are taking many other species down along the way, but the earth has known many great extinctions. Frankly, if we can't learn to live in harmony with our environment and destroy ouselves, we deserve whatever we get. The "human eara" will be just one more thin geologic strata for some other species to study.

We are killing the planet, like so many scavenging mites on a host body. The greed and drive for more and more oil is aking to sucking the blood out of yer granny - eventually she's gonna die! Even bloodsucking leeches fall off but there's too many of us sucking the Earth dry.

We will never kill the planet, and the planet will never kill itself..... howver, we are changing the balance that allows life to exist here, after all it has been theorised that mar and venus could very easily have looked like earth but the balance is a little off.
We have no way to truly destoy the earth, but all life living here? thats another answer

Don't worry. The planet will be here long after we are gone. It has exterminated most of the life forms on its surface numerous times, but something always seems to survive and go on to become the dominant species. A couple of thousand years and no one will know we were ever here.

We are a disease. If we don't stop polluting and raping the Earth, it will plunge us into another ice-age or cataclysm that will extinguish human life on our planet until it has had time to heal itself. Then evolution can start all over again.

When a human gets an infection it sends white blood cells in to destroy the parasite. When the Planet gets an infection (humans) it releases cells - in this case gases - to wipe out the parasites.

Like any death, the belief in god or his plan, will cushion you from reality. The person above me has a distorted worldview, but at least she's happy. The rest of us will need to face the grim reality of our earth's utter death and annihilation. Like someone else said above, its a natural progression, but we're adding to the velocity of that progression, especially via the greenhouse gas effects.

Ice ages and climate change have happened before without humans, however now we are around we are contributing to the downfall of the Earth.

We are. It's not like the planet asked for us to send toxic gases into the air is it?
