If the Earth were human, and were to visit a doctor, what would the prognosis be? Unstable subsurface ruptures, rapid pressure changes, inconsistant body temperatures that change radically, and apparently a racking cough. But the prognosis would be incomplete if the doctor left it at that. What about the native viruses all turning on one another? What about the viruses attacking healthy tissues? It would seem as if the Earth had AIDS. Now where does that put Us? Every time I read a newspaper, watch the news, or simply look outside it seems that we are indeed all just circling the drain, waiting to be flushed.

Oh, sonovabitch.

The prognosis would be a mild fever and an infestation of tiny hominids.  And who wouldn't want that?

No, it kills microbes.  It just drives the little parasites to evolve to adapt to changing conditions.  If history is any indication, however, this drive may improve the engineering skills of the tiny primates, but will not do a damn thing for their actual intelligence.

at least the last half
Through me the way to the city of woe, Through me the way to everlasting pain, Through me the way among the lost.
Justice moved my maker on high.
Divine power made me, Wisdom supreme, and Primal love.
Before me nothing was but things eternal, and eternal I endure.
Abandon all hope, you who enter here.

Yes, well, in addition to all of that other stuff, it is all, indeed, Literally Circling the Drain
Praise NHGH! For the tribulation of all sentient beings.

This is what I was about to look for as soon as I read OP.

I wish we were the crazy threat people speak of. At least then we'd be a little significant.

The Earth will be quite fine with or without us.  We are just a moment in time.
