One of my [many!] bugbears is this use of 'Save the Planet' / 'Save the Earth' by the green movement, when what people actually mean is 'Save The Human Race'.<p>Barring The Sun going supernova, 'The Planet' will survive just fine and life, of some form or another, will thrive, as it has done for billions of years --whether or not we fuck the Earth up as regards making it uninhabitable for ourselves.
