Nobody is claiming humans will kill the planet. Go ahead and watch Al Gore's movie. He makes very clear that the planet will continue long after we are gone.
He spends a whole part of the film discussing how all climate changes are good for some species and bad for others. Just as the polar bear is suffering due to the warming trend, mosquitoes on the other hand of more than doubled their population in the last 10 years alone.
Will the changes cause humans to die out? Probably not. But they could cause life to become very difficult for future generations.
Ever read about the "dust bowl" in the 1930s? That is an example of man altering the environment and climate in a certain area. That turned out so wonderfully for the people who lived there. There were people who predicted that beforehand as well, and they were dismissed as being paranoid.
