Human kind is nothing more than a parasitic infestation on this planet and no amount of going green or recycling will reverse it.
All we do is take, take, take. We give nothing back.

Nothing back to the planet. I believe that was painfully obvious.

Humans aren't Earth's enemy. Earth doesn't give a single fuck about what we do. It doesn't get destroyed, or even damaged, it simply changes. And one of these days it'll change in such a way that'll make it unsuitable for us to live on. Nature on Earth will find a way to adapt and new species that can survive will appear, but we'll basically be fucked :)

Humans living on this planet ~2 million years, Earth exist 4.5 billion years... I don't think we are the BIGGEST enemy... Humans will be extinct (like many species before) and Earth still will be on this same place. We are just a little parasite...

Humans are living on this planet for about 50 thousand years, not 2 millions. And there were multiple times when most of the life on earth died. Dinosaurs weren't the first ones to perish. 99,9% of the species which ever lived on this planet is now extinct. About a billion years ago a group of life forms began emitting into the atmosphere a poisonous gas which almost killed everything what lived (approximately 1 out of 3 500 live forms survived - into more understandable numbers - it's like entire earth population was reduced to population of Slovenia) Maybe you heard of this gas. It is called oxygen.
So there were species which caused almost total extinction of the life on earth. Not once, but six or seven times. Humans maybe will cause next extinction. Maybe one day we will drive ourselves to extinction. But earth will survive.

The Earth is a liberal mother. She will always support and love us, no matter how rude we are. Of course we are not ideal but "we will destroy the Earth, better to live peacefully in equilibrium with nature as cave people did" ranting and hugging trees is overrater.

Earth and life in general do not care. all we can do is make our life harder.
microbes and other life will adapt to almost every environment.
there are even lichen on the inside of the chernobyl reactor vessel which can use radiation instead of sunlight.
edit: it was a fungus

For the ecosystem we live in most definitely, apart from the ultra rare natural cataclysms. But then again our effects are wonderful for the species that will thrive after we are extinct.
One example... life as we know it was only possible (among other things) because of these little mass killers - cyanobacteria.

Are humans Earth's biggest enemy?
If the Earth were to become uninhabitable. There will be games of as save it?
PD: I'm bored :(
