8. End of society not the world

I think that the earth is telling us to change our ways. The world will not blow up or dissolve, but I believe that all the abuse that modern civilization has laid upon the earth will destroy our current life style and hopefully we will be able to start a new civilization that will not abuse and misuse what our earth has to offer, without destroying the earth.
An issue that was bought up a while back is the earth ballast system. I know, not again! But, if one thinks about a tire on a vehicle that is not balanced properly it causes the tire to vibrate and the whole car shudders. So if one thinks about oil, not sure if we really know how oil was formed, maybe it is the earths way of keeping the earth balanced as it spins. Removing the oil from these ballast pools, may cause the spinning earth to vibrate, which we also know that the tec plates are moving constantly, over millions of years.
Would this movement cause a shift in the weather patterns and more natural disasters?
Are vibrations causing a disruption in the natural movement of the tec plates?
