As I've said before, the world is a cruel place that can take care of itself; it will continue to exist with or without people. It has survived several apolocalyptic events throughout its existence that have devestated nearly all life on earth and the planet had healed itself every time. You shouldn't worry about saving the Earth; the Earth can take care of itself. What you should be worried about is saving yourself FROM the Earth, it always is and always has been an extremely hostile environment. That's why societies have built things such as cities and houses.

Yep. We've posted that clip here a couple times.
It's great, isn't it?
