Yeah, someone using "Save the World" instead of "Save the Planet".
The planet will survive quite happily pretty much no matter we do to
it, the question is are we likely to be part of it? If we want to be
part of it we need to save our world. The planet will look after
itself in the long term, but that may well mean that we won't have
suitable conditions for survival, with or without technology.
