| Sep 2, 2017 at 18:19 | comment | added | Rain | I like this option. "Ecocide" sounds a little more modern than "holocide", probably on account of the obvious reference to ecology, a fairly modern concept. "Holocide" is not in any dictionary I currently have access to (edit: just reread your answer and noticed you said a neologism was the only option, so never mind the dictionary bit), but with a little clarification for the reader's sake it does the job. Thanks! | |

| Sep 2, 2017 at 17:49 | comment | added | Dan Bron | Morphologically, this would mean "the killing of everything", not just "life", no? But then, I suppose you can't kill something if it isn't alive to begin with (at least not non-metaphorically; people talk of "character assassination" and "killing one's career", e.g.). | |
