@ It contradicts nothing. You just misunderstand his position. You

Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.
You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy
the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next
nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing
hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.
Fools.
The Earth was built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old,
5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more
devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot
dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily.
So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer,
is: do not think this will be easy.
