That's what I think when I hear people say, "save the planet." The planet will be fine. It's humans that need saving.

- Fricken 8y agoGenerally they're referring to the thin veneer of blue and green on the surface of the planet. Things would have to get pretty heinous for humans to go extinct, but many species are already threatened.
- dleslie 8y agoWe're well past threatened. We're already in the midst of one of the major extinctions.
- jcoffland 8y agoHardly, our population is still growing at an exorbitant rate.
- Jeff_Brown 8y agoLots of species will survive no matter what we do, but humans are among the delicate majority. I realize this is subjective, but to me, biodiversity is obviously far and away the greatest thing in the known universe. It's astounding we (humans in the aggregate) care so little for it.
- dzhiurgis 8y agoAre they always? My partner was nearly loosing her marbles because someone threw a ball into a thermal vent in NZ (I agree it's unsightly and lame). Or that science show was throwing bag of soap every day to trigger a geyser in Rotorua. It's like mostly poisonous gas and water, chill down!
