IMO it is arrogant to assume that we can destroy the earth, its suffered catastrophic events before and has recovered. It is also arrogant to assume that we are above the natural cycle of things, when any other animal's population exceeds what an ecosystem can support a die off occurs, either from starvation or disease or other. The higher a population manages to rise above the capacity of an ecosystem the more drastic the inevitable die off is. We will not destroy the world, once some kind of ballance is once again obtained it will start to recover, at the rate we are going there will most likely be very few humans around to see it happen though.
