Wouldn't it make more sense then to just let the planet degrade to the point where it can't support life (suffering)?
3rd answerer: But they can alleviate more suffering, ultimately, by ensuring that more lives do not come to be in this world of suffering.
 
I may be mistaken, but I believe the POINT of Buddhism is to alleviate that suffering.
