I doubt it'll be as dramatic as all that. But the environment is collapsing from every angle: water shortages, rising sea levels, micro-plastic pollution, soil erosion, catastrophic decline of pollinating insects, acidification of the ocean, climate change. What I expect to happen in the next 50 years is that the planet will stop being able to produce enough food for the human population, and famine, war and mass migration like we've already seen in Europe will become enormous problems.
Personally, I don't understand why there isn't a global population cap enforced immediately. No woman can bear more than two children in her lifetime. If we don't do that as the absolute bare minimum, there's going to be a humanitarian crisis on a global scale within our lifetimes. I haven't heard it seriously proposed anywhere though, presumably because it's considered inhumane to stop people breeding like ing rabbits.
I will say, though, that an attitude of "It's too late to stop it, so I won't even try" is a complete moral dereliction. |
i agree, or at least some sort of procedure if you want to have kids in the first place, it may seem totalitarian to do but some people have 0 self control and decision making skills which just puts unnecessary burden on the system. also asians need to chill jesus christ they're everywhere. really though you get a lot of these low income s abusing the system. i read about some guy that had 11 kids so he could earn 75k in some sort of welfare checks. sure bet those kids see the money. or just idiots breeding
its not that i have given up trying/caring, i try to do my best to limit my foot print and advise others without coming off like a pushy . thing is most people don't give a and thats what i mean. by the time everyone starts to care or think about it like a serious problem, it might be too late at that point.
trump canning a bunch of programs and endorsing things and calling climate change a hoax makes it even worse. |

So even if the population doesn't increase, we need to change our farming methods soon to avoid global famine. |
Soil erosion is an interesting thing, but a small thing now. It will become a big thing. New volcanic soil is very fertile for one, and volcanic ash is very good for the ground. Vertical farms are a thing. |

Then when he gets called out, he comes with the "only trolling lol" then falls back on meme posting, while not actually seeing the very memes he's posting are actually an ironic commentary or better said mockery, of exactly his type of people. |
i particularly liked the pictures which showed that the homeless in (more) advanced capitalist economies are a fair bit chubbier than those in countries with little or no capitalism at all. |

| Jack, I really don't understand why you are still trying to reason with him when he clearly has no desire, or perhaps ability, to grasp your points. |

| Well, it's petered out now. But since he made such a big deal of taking the high ground and accusing people of not having a clean and serious discussion, I thought it would be interesting to give him one. Kenny is usually treated with complete scorn by the majority of regulars left here, so his toxic posting behaviour could be justified as a reaction to the general -flinging. I'm not going to pick the bones out of what was written, but I'm sure you can judge the results for yourself. |
