I don't think we will because our socioeconomic systems do not reward cooperation. Excellent answer. Like it says in the Bible, a house divided shall not stand. Humans do not co operate and will suffer for it when Gaia comes aknockin' with THE END for the human species. We have overstayed our welcome with all our pollution, extermination of species and general bad behaviour. Not all the EVs and windmills on the planet are going to save us from our own wrongdoings. Not saying it will happen any time soon, but eventually, all in due course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By your own words you want to make a few more too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you don't believe in vaccines, you believe aeorplane vapor trails are gas being sprayed on us and and and and...... That's a lot of extrapolation there. I agree it's happening, but I think it's 5 billion people too late to do anything to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that is what most of the 8 billion people on the planet do as well, it's why humans will likely be extinct by the end of this century. So much for anyone's direct genetic line when that happens. I'm more than satisfied that my direct genetic line dies with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he just likes knowing that his genes will live on. I could be wrong on that though. My own father didn't give a rat's bottom about his direct male offspring either. I suppose it's partly revenge that his direct bloodline dies with me. Had I cared, I might have tried harder to reproduce. I did have the opportunity with my first partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given by how popular fried bugs are with the ladies of Nana, they might be tasty, though that's something I'll never know. There is something about seeing a cute girl with the little bug legs sticking out of her mouth that puts me off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Climate change is not going to make Homo Sapiens extinct. But the competition for living space (home, food, survivable temperatures) will become intense and many will not survive. Unfortunately by the time the human population has culled a large percentage of it's members, we will have pretty much driven many species to extinction, and live in a devastated dystopia. Last 6 months have all seen the monthly global temperature record broken, and this year is already at 1.46 degrees Centigrade of warming. That 1.5 C target will probably be hit next year assuming the El Nino continues. One factor which has only become more obvious in the last few years is the risk of forest fires - they are rising exponentially, outdoing our tiny efforts to plant more trees and raising CO2 levels even more. Also, no-one seems to talk about methane hydrate on the ocean floor any more - warming of the deep ocean, especially in polar regions could cause catastrophic methane releases. Meanwhile Oil and coal companies are using the Ukraine war as an excuse to produce more - greed greed greed. If you thought migration was an issue, we haven't seen anything yet - in 30 years time, whole countries will be on the march, mainly northwards. We can get another 10-20 years of affluence followed by utter chaos, or tighten our belts NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue WW3. No populations are going to welcome millions of aliens into their countries all at once. Agree with much of that post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be dead in 20 years so I vote for affluence now. I have no children to care about, luckily for me, or I might have to vote for sacrifice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
