When the assertion is that "the world" or "the planet" feels something or does something, what is meant?

The total surface area of the earth is 126 billion acres.

The mean radius of the earth is approximately 6.4 million meters.

The cubic volume of the earth is 1,097,509,500,000,000,000,000 cubic meters.

The human population of the earth is 6.7 billion.

If I feel something, do I speak for all mankind? How would I know?
