Yeah but if we end up nuking the place, that's more an end-game scenario than a fix. Like... we just flat out broke it.
Though I guess things would probably be OK in a couple of million years and some other civilization could evolve and there would still be some stuff left for them to use, which is preferable to us leaving the place a lifeless husk like nibbling locusts.
Then again, they'd probably just end up doing the same thing.
"Hey Schlelgrarb! Look at this! I have discovered an ancient civilization that bombed each other to dust using these super powerful weapons... AND there's blueprints for how to make them!"
"Awesome! We hate the Shploobers from Schblobereen, they'll never mess with us once they know we have these!"
"Oh no they have them too now..."
*another million years later*
"Hey Krekgrrarl! Look at this!!"
