That's not fair at all.
Humans suck. Not Earth. Difference. Even though many to most humans, self-important as we are, readily conflate the two. The Earth was a bountiful paradise for a long, long time until us.
Don't blame the Earth because one random malignant mutation metastasized on it.
She's one of our victims, too. I don't worry for her though, she's winding up to address the surface nuisance that is humanity as we speak. Not her first rodeo, and not her last.

Spacetime tells matter how to move; matter tells spacetime how to curve.
Humans fucking rock.
Were the greatest species ever until some aliens come along and kick our arse.
