      It does say “destory earth” not humanity, though. And we’re not making a dent there.

        We’re also doing a good job destroying the planet, at least from the stance of making it inhospitable for life. Will life survive? Yes. Because “life, err, finds a way”. But it sure as hell won’t be because of the efforts of the most powerful and influential humans.

          Seen Chernobyl lately? It’s thriving with life, just not human. It amazes me that humans have such an inflated ego about their impact in the grand scheme. Sure we may fuck it up for a while, and it’ll definitely suck for us. But things will happily return to an equilibrium once we’re gone.

            First thing that came up when I searched Chernobyl was about these blue dogs.

            Turns out they’re playing in Porta potties haha poor poopoo pups. Humans still have a lasting mark.

          Well, then we haven’t made it inhospitable.

          Anyway, I’m not sure why the aliens would be interested in a planet with a slowly dying mega fauna. As I understand OPs question they want to literally destory the entire thing or at least want it properly sterilised. Humans won’t be of any help with either of those, so waiting for humans to do something wouldn’t really help the aliens.
