Depends on how pedantic you want to be, No of course the planet is not getting killed, We could destroy entire biosphere and earth would still be here, Its big ball of mater, Its hard to destroy


But on a less pedantic take, We are damaging the eco system and as a part of the eco system we are damaging our selves, Sea level rise is pretty much unavoidable if we want to avoid another ice age but there is other issues we should actually be concerned about, There is growing problem of toxic waste leaking in to the ocean, Many forever chemical, radioactive materials, and millions of tons of microplastics, all of this has a cumulative negative effect on our health and its even worse when you add in all of the other shit in our diet, The poisons in the cookware, In the water, Sprayed near fields you played in as a kid and where your kid plays, But the planet and the lower orders of life will be fine, Its going to be humans that suffer.(this is the unpedantic take so consider the intended meaning of ice age not the actual meaning)

Depends...are you an alarmist? If keeping everything at the same levels is the only way to stay "not killed," then Earth will always be "dying" because O2, CO2, et all will always be in flux. Earth has already survived some catastrophic events. One of the largest being when Oxygen was introduced into the atmosphere which killed almost all of the living things on land. So the question is really, "Will humans survive a massive change?"...which is what they really mean.

It's suffering entropy just like everything else. We have no evidence of any biological entity killing a planet. It's a poor hypothesis that can't be tested. I would say no. If the planet can survive multiple meteor strikes, I'm confident it can cope with its native populations.

Planet is fine. We are fucked.

In what capacity?
