  • world to end



    I believe it. I believe we are all doomed. And there is no saving it. Even if some nations curb their emissions, most will not.

    I saw a great film last night called "Last Day" about the last day before the world ended. Sandra Oh was in it.

      I've previously heard predictions of oceans rising by 20 feet (~ 6 meters), and I think "An Inconvenient Truth" says pretty much the same things.

      So, not much new here.

          Instead of sea levels rising by about 40 centimetres, as the IPCC predicts in one of its computer forecasts, the true rise might be as great as several metres by 2100. That is why, they say, planet Earth today is in "imminent peril".
          2100. That's plenty of times to screw ourselves in a different manner.

              That worked out well for the WTC, didn't it?

                The Independent loves worst-case apocalyptic scenarios, and loves scaring people ****less. The Indie is to the environment what the Daily Mail is to immigration.

                  The problem with these ridiculous "the world is coming to an end" assertions is that they assume "business as usual", that's not how things work. once the **** starts hitting the fan I'm predicting climate modification schemes. Crises have a tendency of shaking people out of complacency and let loose a society's creative energies.

                    Oh sure. Planning is so mundane. Reactionary is the only way to go. (cough)

                      problem is that it's not something you clan plan for... only prepare,since you don't really know what you are planning for

                        That's all planning is, really. Preparation. Having a backup...preparation.

                            The problem is that once the excrement hits the air conditioning, people start dying. Even if fixed then, the consquences will be far greater than fixed now.

                              I guess that explains "The Jetsons." A grim vision of things to come.
