At what point will the earth say "screw this" and begin purging itself of the beings who are making such a mess of it?

And when that happens is it reversible? Will we reach a reverse tipping point on the way down? Or will the purge continue until it actually becomes the so called 6th mass extinction?

I'll be 159 years old in 2100, so I doubt if I'll be much help in turning things around at that point.
