A Dying World??

Look at this British headline:

A world dying, but can we unite to save it?

The world isn't dying. It may be changing and some changes may result in the loss of some species, but the world isn't dying. It will continue to live long after we're gone. To infer that a world without the current crop of species is a "dying" world is hyperbole at its worst.
