Earth 2100: ABC Special[HDTV]~Ekolb

'Earth 2100': the Final Century of Civilization? Tuesday, June 2, 2009 Planet at Risk: Experts Warn Population Growth, Resource Depletion, Climate Change Could Bring Catastrophe in Next Century. It's an idea that most of us would rather not face -- that within the next century, life as we know it could come to an end. Our civilization could crumble, leaving only traces of modern human existence behind. It seems outlandish, extreme -- even impossible. But according to cutting edge scientific research, it is a very real possibility. And unless we make drastic changes now, it could very well happen. Experts have a stark warning: that unless we change course, the "perfect storm" of population growth, dwindling resources and climate change has the potential to converge in the next century with catastrophic results. In order to plan for the worst, we must anticipate it. In that spirit, guided by some of the world's experts, ABC News' "Earth 2100," hosted by Bob Woodruff, will journey through the next century and explore what might be our worst-case scenario.

Conjecture at half century into Aquarius, ay.
Looks interesting,
I have a more positive outlook on our future, by the sounds of it, sounds interesting nonetheless.
Cheers matey.

Worst propaganda I've ever seen!

great speed! Anyone who likes to reed: Lucifer's Hammer by Niven is an awesome book....comet strikes earth and what happens, SF of course but shiveringly correct.

Nice propaganda.

vilken media spelare rekommenderas? i vlc så hackar det och wmp funkar inte ljudet.

This is something that everyone absolutely has to watch. Not only is it propaganda but it's propaganda of such an extreme sort that it's rare to see it outside of old nazi war films.
It gives an incredible insight into just how nuts these environmentalists and their cohorts are and how willing and eager they are to deny facts and ignore common sense to meet their own agenda.
Seriously, it will completely blow your mind. Through the whole thing I found myself dumbfounded that people could actually say stuff like this with a straight face.

For another worst case scenario, check out The Venus Theory:

Phytoplankton which supplies 1/2 our 02 on the planet has already been cut in half from ocean acidification and having dumped 1.5 Terratons of C02 gas into the atmosphere in the last 200 years.
Did it ever occur to you that if you introduce something into the physical world that is not normally naturally occurring that there just might be an influence on that environment?
What happens when you dump 10 gallons of chlorine into a 20,000 gallon swimming pool?
I guess using your logic my eyes would not burn at that ration & everything wold be hunky dory.
It’s a good thing people who think on these terms won’t be doing any surgery or treatment to those suffering from disease who need a sharp mind to figure the right course of solutions-God forbid.
Oil is not an energy source that keeps replenishing itself you dummy, and if you believe alternative energies will replace the energy requirements of 2x as many people in 30 years as oil keeps depleting itself, then you probably did not get past 3rd grade arithmetic.
I am not a scientist, but finding out how much of the planets resources we consume every day is easy to find out doing basic research (it’s not classified mtl.) but exactly how much oil is left in the ground ion the planet is, as I tried to find out, in addition to how much the planet is capable of providing(carrying capacity) which are numbers that are considered common knowledge.
You’ll then realize as I did, using the "exponential function" the entire global system will collapse when finite energy collides with infinite financial growth( necessary because all money in circulation came from a loan from the bank with interest that when paid back causes a net drain on the money supply thereby requiring ever more debt & growth to replace it or it collapses- thus continuous financial growth where new debt money must replace old debt money causes such catastrophic shortage’s of money in the economic system to keep people working & turning out goods & services is absolutely essential-a massive pyramid scheme if you will).

When oil & energy can no longer grow at least 2-3% per year you get a huge financial collapse as we did in 2007-08.
If you can't figure that much out using basic elementary school arithmetic my own 10 year old Granddaughter figured out then no wonder this carnival game is collapsing around us as we kill off 200 species of life forms everyday so you can live a cushy lifestyle.
Simple math tells you the entire global system is based on ungodly amounts of energy that when oil runs out, there is not a suitable replacement capable of producing energy at the demand we use it now, nor is there an infrastructure in place as there is the one we have built & designed to solely accommodate liquid oil, not vapor as a gas, or a sludge or solid energy component we can put into a billion automobiles we have now that gets 3 billion people to work everyday and ships Caesar Salads 3000 miles from one distribution ceter to your local box superstore, notwithstanding what a doubling of the planets population in 30 years will do to your “oh it’s just propaganda” sheer stupidity on its face ignorance to common sense philosophy is simply laughable, as my 10 year old Granddaughter went into hysterics when she read your post that peak oil, resource depletion, & climate change is " propaganda".
She said, “anyone who is that stupid deserves to die as they represent no social value to humanity whatsoever, as one’s inability to sort out the wheat from the chaf is in a sorry state of affairs.

Simple math tells you the entire global system is based on ungodly amounts of finite energy(oil) that when oil runs out, there is not a suitable replacement capable of producing energy at the demand we use it now.
Nor is there an infrastructure even on the drawing board that even if it was would take a generation, (40 yrs.) @ least to get up & operational & in place having the multi-energy capacity to accommodate 7 Billion Humans & counting.
Our tunnel vision built an infrastructure believing in an endless supply of liquid oil, as the one we have built & designed is to solely accommodate liquid oil, not vapor as a gas, or a sludge or solid energy source we can put into a billion gas & diesel tanks of planes, trains, automobiles & diesel trucks we have now that gets 3 billion people to work everyday, ships Caesar Salads 3000 miles from one distribution center to your local box superstore, or travel the Caribbean on a Cruise Ship to throw money away on luxuries that one day will come to a screeching halt when oil begins it's steep decline with no new fields capable of meeting the exponential demands being placed on a system that is already running flat in supply with increasing demand & a population counting to double by 2040. notwithstanding what a doubling of the planets population in 30 years will do to your “oh it’s just propaganda” sheer stupidity on its face ignorance to common sense philosophy is simply laughable, as my 10 year old Granddaughter went into hysterics when she read your post that peak oil, resource depletion, & climate change is propaganda.

Thank you... It's an interesting bullshit horror story concocted by the climate change lobby to secure funds to line their pockets. As long as people see it as just fiction like zombie or vampire movies. Face it: the weather has changed for millions of years and will continue to do so in our favor or not, so get on with your lives and just don't be gullible.
A bit of advice on the long term: BUY GOLD, in the next crisis will rise to 3,000 dollars an ounce and you'll get filthy rich...
