🌍 Is the planet Earth doomed?

Note to self: Don’t invite @saint-or-sinner round for an evening of light hearted banter and conversation

A little harsh. Invite him round but make sure the central heating is off and all light bulbs are energy saving. Oh, and sacrifice your young and dependents.

I could do something like this @cobham-saint

But i still think you’re all living in happy valley(especially @fatso ) .

Look what’s in the papers today. The build up has been going on for some time now.

“The ability of our economy to increase military production and services at a given time is one of the most important aspects of military security,” Mr Putin said. “To this end, all strategic, and simply large-scale enterprise should be ready, regardless of ownership.”

Looking forward to my backwater village cheap old property being the new ‘central London mansion’ in terms of ££££ :lou_lol:

So it would appear that plastic microfibers are now in everything, even our drinking water and they never degrade.

Remember when i said we had 20-30 years?

Good news.

I might have been wrong(maybe).

Bad news.

It’s only 3-6 years away(possibly).

This video is quite amusing, but mainly because of their faces at the end.

Despite the date you posted was my birthday, you were on the cutting edge of making us aware of this @saint-or-sinner …by 3-4 months compared to the BBC etc

:lou_wink_2:

The Planet Earth will be ok for maybe the next 5 million years. Humans maybe a little shorter. We’ve only just evolved but fucked everything up in a short time.

Decades old news in reality. We wanted to believe a lie against the ever increasing scientific data, so we switched off all rational thought.

Now it’s slapping us in the face and we still ignore it. Acceleration rate of between 100-1000 x faster than the last great mass extinction, caused wholly by our actions and no one wants to even discuss it. That’s fucking bizarre.

Is it really more depressing to talk about change that could have saved us, than it is to live a empty hollow consumerist life, full of debt and passive acceptance of what we are told to believe, whilst always being aware(simple arithmetic) that it’s a lie and the reason behind our acceleration towards our own demise.

Don’t take any notice of Guy McPherson. What does he know.

Quote from the Bible?

Quote from reality :laughing:

A reality devoid of science?

That’s the Bible.

Sorry true :blush: 2 billion years in it’s current state.

You believe human will be here in a couple of billion years?

Couple of decades more like.

I believe human Saint or Sinner is a contrary cunt

If that makes reality easier to ignore, good for you.

Guy McPherson is talking shit and for some reason you’re choosing to believe him over all the other climate change scientists (I say “all the other” which is a bit misleading as it makes it sound like McPherson is a climate change scientist… and he’s not). Climate change scientists don’t exactly paint a rosy future and should be listened to… This bloke undermines their valuable work by belittling it and giving deniers the chance to mock the very notion.

What surprises me more than you believing this idiot is the pleasure you seem to take from telling us we’re all going to die and that they’re nothing we can do about it. We’ll if that’s the case, what’s the point in telling us?

I usually agree with what you say, SOS, but this is just batshit crazy talk. Mankind is not going to die out by 2026.

Dying in 2026 does solve a few issues though. I can now legitimately tell the Ayatollah to fuck off when she starts crapping about my diet and my drinking. I can also stop paying into a pension and use the savings to get royally twatted over the next 8 years.

Whats not to like?

Oh given that Corbyn is at the helm, you are all likely to spend the rest of your lives under the rule of the Tories.

Where have i said anything of the sort?

over all the other climate change scientists (I say “all the other” which is a bit misleading as it makes it sound like McPherson is a climate change scientist… and he’s not).

Again, i have done no such thing.

Climate change scientists don’t exactly paint a rosy future and should be listened to… This bloke undermines their valuable work by belittling it and giving deniers the chance to mock the very notion.

He’s not really belittling it, just saying that it’s definitely going to happen and long before we believe(and science does believe).

The only constant in this field is the fact that every prediction has come earlier than originally thought.

What surprises me more than you believing this idiot

Where have i said i believe him? Stop doing a Ted and making up bollocks. Go back and you will see words like maybe and possibly when referring to Guy.

is the pleasure you seem to take from telling us we’re all going to die and that they’re nothing we can do about it.

No pleasure, just amazement at the head in sand attitude of the bulk of people. That level of willful ignorance deserves the piss taken out of it.

There’s lots we can do, but we chose not too, despite all the evidence. Maybe Guy is the sane one(maybe, not definitely).

We’ll if that’s the case, what’s the point in telling us?

If people are to survive, they better start talking about it, if not, i think it’s only fair we face up to the destruction we have brought on all life.

I usually agree with what you say, SOS, but this is just batshit crazy talk.

Possibly, but no more batshit crazy than those that deny the massive problems coming.

Mankind is not going to die out by 2026.

I don’t think so either*, but anyone that thinks renewables or creating food out of thin air is going to save us, is delusional on religious scale.

2035 would be my guess :lou_smiley:
