No need to worry, Oberon. It is highly unlikely that people will ever manage to destroy this planet, let alone another one. IMO, most people have skewed perception of just how these things work, generally because they buy into alarmist environmental arguments that often have very little to do with the environment. Know what I mean? |

Yeah, I'm with Carling, it's impossible to kill this planet, well certainly at our primitive level of technology, but we can certainly make our lives on it uncomfortable...well, for some people anyway.
I'm more concerned about resource shortages than I am climate change if I'm honest, but there's not a great deal one can do about it, not as a singular being and certainly not in the planets fractured socio-political state.
I often do ponder how mankind would face a large scale hostile extraterrestrial event, be it an asteroid or an alien. Would the planets governments band together to try to combat it or would they all just work to further their own objectives. Sometimes mankind can be so brilliant...and yet at other times it can be so dumb.
