I think we should call the Avengers.

 Bruce Willis is still around, isn't he? I'm sure we can convince him to take down an asteroid if the need arises.

However, while there are speculative ideas about nuking the Sun,, the harsh reality is that there are no known technological way to destroy civilisation so thoroughly it doesn't rebuild in a few hundred years. Nuclear war, global warming or a bioengineered plague never kill everyone; 99.99% mortality is a blip on a graph on a large enough scale. 100% never happens by accident.

So one of the most plausible long term futures is an endless drunken walk between the 17th to 21st C.

Now I'm imagining a civilisation that just can't help but nuke itself every few centuries.
