Don't worry, the planet's gonna be fine.
Humanity on the other hand...
"The planet," in terms of a rock orbiting the Sun, sure, but we are killing an awful lot of flora and fauna that would be doing fine if we weren't around to fuck things up.
Life always finds a way. At least until the moon has drifted so far from our orbit that our atmosphere is no longer sustainable and the oceans boil off the surface of the planet.
Are you sure? Even if it's true, I like the life forms we've got right now an awful lot, and they don't deserve what we're doing to them.
Just nudge the moon back like that asteroid we slammed the thing into.
Yes and the 6th mass extinction event is well underway. Still, the planet's life forms bounced back before and will do so again, I guess.
