So we are not jeopardizing the planet, unless your "planet" is to remain hospitable for us.  Then there is grounds for seeing a threat.

That's the point. The planet will survive us. We may make it inhospitable to our species, and by extension other species. But the planet will go on, and will continue having new life forms come about, and other die out. 

The threat is not to the planet.

The threat is to us.

The planet is just fine.
