We can kill us, but the earth will go on.

Nature has been created to destroy us, friends. Today we're so confortable thinking that we're killing earth, but its the opposite. We're controlling her and using it to serve our needs, that's why the past 300 years were full of richness, progress and right now we're not being doomed to starve to death just like "mother" earth wants.

The advantage in letting all the wimpy wild animals die off and most of the enviornment destroyed it would shut the enviornmentalists. We could move on without the crying and lamentations of limp wristed enviornmentalists, liberalati, and supposed communists.

People like George Carlin and others never understood the basic idea of "saving the planet." It never referred to the rock. It always referred to the thin biosphere. Yeah sure, life would probably go on after we went extinct and the biosphere "recovered." But we and most other species could and probably will bite it once the biosphere is fully hosed. The idea that environmentalists and greens meant saving the rock or even all life was, at best, a dodge.

I always took the joke as why do we feel the need to personify the planet earth as a creature to be saved. Why did we pick "save the planet" instead of "save the biosphere"? Because people like having a grand illusion that they can have an impact on something as big as earth. Carlin takes that personification and says, well maybe earth needed more plastic, and wants everything else dead.

Theoretically we could make a nuclear reactor, have it melt down, and drive a uranium spike all the way to the mantle, causing artificial volcanoes and screw up the tectonic plates or something as well.

we should figure out a way to make a black hole massive enough to be self sustaining. completely destroy the earth, no information at all about its previous state except total mass recoverable

Large Hadron Collider's been running for years but it's a particle accelerator for little bitch men and doesn't have nearly enough power to make a runaway black hole.
