if the moon disappeared, the earth would certainly survive. life on earth may not survive, but the planet itself would.
we wouldn't have tides anymore.
polar shifts would happen more often.
the moon also acts a a small shield, blocking some asteroids from hitting the earth. not many, but some.
but that thing about 'nothing to reflect sunlight back to the earth making the skies white?' i think that's wrong. the blue tint to the sky is a result of the refractive properties of the atmosphere bending the light rays like a prism. so nothing to do with the moon. the moon's surface is mostly aluminum, which is why it look so white- it's reflecting white light. it's not reflecting blue light back to the earth...
hmmm.... this isn't some lame dog-whistle politics code for "white reign" I hope... like fringe groups that used to communicate through coded classified ads in newspapers or those numbers radio stations...
