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.

Huh? Not sure what you mean by this.
Eventually the planet's core will die, and the sun will die, and all life on this planet will die too. But right now, at this point in our species history, we are doing damage to our own ability to have a stable planet for our species. And the damage humans are doing is us, and is beyond anything the planet cycles through on it's own.
