Not really. Humans take a toll out as do all animals, and admittedly somewhat more than most other animals, but insofar as 'killing' the earth certainly not. As long as we can avoid nuking everything to death (something we are very unlikely to do) the Earth will remain. Even if we did nuke everything, it would just start coming back withing 100 years. Everything will die when it dies, there is little that humans at this period of time can do about the ultimate reality.

YES, THEY IS!!!!!!
One time there were thousands of people living in Easter Island. They ate, killed , burned, and destroyed all the palm tree and other forests in the Island until it was barren and there were only a few people left.
Scientists think the Mayas disappeared for the same reason, which is depletion and destruction of natural resources.
The cement cities keep growing, the trees disappearing, the people multiplying and trampling and polluting everything. Even today probably 75% of the population of Earth is barely being fed, what do you think will happen, when we devastate the resources like a plague of locust? Right, it might take a few years more, but we are increasingly approaching the time we will call wars the benign population control!

You mean, "ARE humans killing the earth?" First of all this is a highly opinionated question. I think you could form your own opinion. However, I believe we are killing the earth. The overproduction of human species has led to an exponential technology growth. In effect, this leads to pollution and other catastropphic events that create a chain reaction in our environment

Yes, we are, unfortunately.
Humans are the only creature that cannot survive without killing or poluting the earth.
All the other animals are in the natural environmental cycle.
Environmental protection is good. But the best way to save this planet is to "delete" humans.

Yes absolutely. If we aren't, then why is there such things as global warming and all? We should also look after the endangered animals, but some people aren't. That's one part of an evidence to show that. Also, people are driving too many cars and should use the bus. It's ruining the environment! We should live in a house that is just right for us and not big mansions.

first of all its "ARE humans killing the earth?"
second of all, what does it matter? if we're not then good, but if we are then what should we do? kill ourselves (and every other human) to save the earth (a big hunk of land)?
silly question if u ask me because there is no point in asking.

The question of the decade. We probably are now but with advancements in technology and people being more environmentally considerate we will be OK in the future. Don't forget that mother nature always repairs herself, hopefully we will be around to enjoy it.
