How to Destroy the Earth
qntm.org ^ | 3/14/2014 | qntm

Preamble

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.

You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.

Fools.

The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.

This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.

This is a guide for those who do not want the Earth to be there anymore.

Yeah. Good luck with that. The best way to destroy the planet is to let these assclowns control anything.

Just have J.J. Abrams do a movie about the earth.
He will blow it up in no time flat.

When the next big asteroid slams into us, and it will, well, there's really nothing we can do about it. We'll have to take the hit and it's going to be a really bad day for most of humanity or if old Mother Earth decides it's time for a major shakeup (earthquake) not too much we can do about that either. If anything is going to wipe us out it will likely be ourselves. We humans have a positive talent for our own destruction.

Not bad for two words.

His shortest method by far was only two words, but you get it for free if you elect Democrats.

If the gubmint was in charge of the Sahara desert, in 50 years they’d run out of sand.
