The error shows you a dependency issue:

google-earth-pro-stable depends on lsb-core (>= 3.2); however:
Package lsb-core is not installed.

Google Earth requires the package lsb-core but it is not installed on your system.
Since this package is in the Ubuntu 17.04 repos, simply run sudo apt-get install lsb-core to install lsb-core. Then you can run sudo dpkg -i google-earth-pro-stable_current_amd64.deb again to install.
