Recommendations? Take the truly good ones, which cant be more than 10% of the population off the sinking planet and put them somewhere where they actually have a chance of making a good civilization, and just let the others bicker and immolate themselves repeatedly throughout the ages as has been going on since pre-history.
Oh, and indefinitely quarantine those left behind until they evolve a bit more so they cannot spread their savagery into neighboring star systems,edit on 9/23/2012 by CaticusMaximus because: (no reason given)

A Fascinatingly Disturbing Thought - Dr. Neil DeGrasse
The whole thing is pretty good, but 3:55 onward is pretty much what I'm getting at
Here we have an obscure planet circling an obscure star system in the obscure regions of the Milkyway Galaxy which the inhabitants have discovered fire and which survived an extinction level planet wide ice age and they contemplate a creator.
Then as their technology advanced and their egos grew they later survived two World Wars where they have split the atom and created weapons which are capable of causing their own extinction. They are presently polluting their own environment to the point of contaminating their own biosphere which may not if continued be able to support them.

If the aliens don't do it, the artificial intelligence machines we will make will eventually get as smart as that and do the same thing to their former masters (meaning us). And I'm only half joking...I wouldn't rule it out, but that scenario is probably at least 100 years away.
