What is the world coming too...?

.............

well if human keep poluting everything they way we are .. there biosphere will not support us for another 50 without a dramatic population fall off .. and if you look at the historic charts they have from ice cores.. it my be in 30-40 year we have a mini ice age.. and again those usually cause massive population declines ..

climate change is normal.. but our actions have put us in a position that we will be unable to respond to a massive climate shift either way ..and probably not grow enough food to feed 9 billion humans .. even though currently we actually grow enough to feed 14 billion ..

a thousand years ago or more there where europeans visting the new world and people from china .. in the 1300s a mini ice age hit both europe and the americas .. and possible the rest of the planet .. black death started hitting china in the 1330s then spread to eurpoe in the 1350s .. and kill over half the population ..

then after columbus and the eurpoeans started coming to the americas .. there was a depopulation of close to 90 percent of native americans north and south .. quite possible or at least 50 percent ..

basically we are screwed either way if ig get hotter or it gets colder or it stays the same and we keep polluting everything and sucking up every resource we can ..

topsoil the main one .. down to a few inches in most of the country ..froms 4 -10 feet of it 150 years ago .. and we are running out of the water in the Aquifirs under the country .. and then with hedge funds buying up farmland .. it is only a matter of time before we we cant turn oil into food at a profit as we do now .. with synthetic fertilizers .. and mechinized farming .. or at least enough to make hedge fund investors happy ..

Oh wait i normally try to be positive about the future ..this post seems all bleak and such ..but seeing what is coming you can position yourself to adapt and thrive through is .. people are already poisioning themselves as the go the good consumer route .. so many will die of some lifestyle inflicted disease well before the environment gives us a but kicking..

as for the OP .. right now there are actually a lot of things getting better in the world ..but we are instinctively drawn to looking out for bad things and danger .. ad we have news agencies who's business it is to show us everything bad that is happening 24 hours a day 7 days a week .. and many more sources of news around the world..

there are some of these bad thing that may actually effect you or will in the future that you can prepare for and learn to do something about now

Please show solid proof that all global warming is manmade..

Is there any other kind of vacuum cleaner salesman?

Make that four fists.

And a film crew.

The Earth has gone through cycles of being frozen over and having a lot of volcanic activity in the past, each having the same effect, being pretty inhospitable to life.

If we are having a resurgence of volcanoes then that only adds to the inhospitable effects of excess CO2 which traps heat. However, ironically, if the Sun is being blotted out by smoke and ash it will cool the Earth down. When the volcanism dies down then there is still a load of ash and dust up there for a long time so the ice will return.

No sun, no growing of crops, too cold, no growing of crops.

We, up to now, lived in a window between the two, ideal for life. Now we are artificially hastening it to be too hot.. Even if we had not been doing so, the volcanoes would have returned eventually, but perhaps not for a very long time.

Thank you Kay, this is going straight to the Pool room, (Castle movie quote).

Protecting Earth from rampant environmental devastation, will provide more food and water at much less cost as there wouldn't be as large a need for man-made intervention to remedy the situation - which is incredibly expensive and is only going to get more so as time goes on.

Once a crop-producing area is destroyed from environment effects, it's impossible to make it fertile, again, without spending massive amounts of money and even then, the results could be barely effective and very short-lived.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." I Googled a conversion chart for that, but was unable to find one.

As long as we are going to spend umpteen trillions of dollars to produce weapons of mass destruction that can kill everyone on the planet 1000x, and in the process render it incapable of even growing a friggin' weed, we need to stop pissing and moaning about spending billions to keep mankind alive by providing clean air, clean water and abundant, nutritious food.

We have but one home. You want your grandkids to have to move to Mars, fine! Just make sure they're not afraid of spiders.

Old? That's funny. Compared to me you're still poopin' yellow!!!

SRSLY? That's the best you can come up with?

3rd world war coming soon besides global warming increasing day by day.

Always remember that people in West Virginia refer to Utah as paradise.

Not a word. Go with 'deprecating.' :-)

I wish you would quit using the Wright brothers as an example.

The experts weren't the ones "garbeging" (whatever the hell that means) their flight. The experts were the Wright brothers and other people who studied applied physics.

It was the uninformed superstitious public that had no understanding of how heavier than air planes could possibly fly.

In the Wright brothers example, you are not one of the Wright brothers...you are one of the deniers that the plane will fly, even though every expert in applied physics knows that it will.

Oh yeah? Well it's like making you captain of .....um.....

Shut up!

(Glad to see you back)
