On the plus side, it's highly unlikely that we can destroy the planet. Earth has has five extinction events and will probably have another, whether it's a volcano or asteroid, or a human caused event. The planet will likely regenerate with a new diversity of life forms, just like it has in it's long history, even if it takes millions of years or longer. However we could sure make it an unpleasant place to live for future generations.
