1. Yes, there will be survivors
and I hope to hell they come out of it smarter than we have been.

10. Speak for yourself, I plan to live forever.
Or at least well beyond a normal lifespan.

19. The hole in the ozone is pretty close to NZ
so if those are the only survivors, maybe they'll have adapted to survive the exposure.

28. More probably it'll be the likes of you two above- who'll end it for all the rest

through insatiable appetites for "non-negotiable" lifestyles.

Just sayin....;-)

13. If we don't change our ways, Earth has a way of cleansing herself
of harmful species.

26. whoever's lived thru Hell and still survived.. they sure won't be related to me
Edited on Sat Jun-05-10 10:40 PM by stuntcat
I am so proud I realized what was coming before I got pregnant. I am hurt every day by what's happening and I'd die before giving the rest of this century to a child, to me it is The Height of selfishness.
But maybe the children made today won't care as much, maybe they'll be bully success-nuts, Humans All The Way! Growth is Victory!! :puke:

30. Humanity is not immune from natural laws.
Whenever any species becomes overcrowded, there is ALWAYS a massive die-off, but rarely is it a total one. The most likely candidate for the die-off will be starvation combined with disease. The poor countries will be hit hardest and the industrialized countries will be hit less hard. Global population will level off at about 100 million. OK, I will admit that the 100 million figure is a wild-assed guess.
