Technically the bio-sphere.... Or major chunks of it, will Drop off the twig.
The oblait spheroid that is 'The Earth' will quite happily continue to roll around the Sun.

Evolution like the planet is very tough, so life will be fine. But as far as our particular species, we are not suited to survive something like a global nuclear war which can be triggered by more extreme weather events and pollution contaminating resources. Our planet will be here for billions of more years and is also likely to get hit with another meteor on par with what killed off the dinosaurs. But life like bacteria and cockroaches are far more likely to survive such events.
What is sad about our species, as smart as we can be, we are also a victim of our own success. We've dreamed up ways to consume faster. But the unfortunate part of that success is that our planet isn't absorbing our waste and pollution as fast as we make it.
From my perspective, there isn't a practical difference between the Earth being rendered uninhabitable for human, and it being rendered uninhabitable for all life.
