Very funny. Yeah, this thread needed a laff.
I'm just so disgusted with the Dems & Reps who aren't intelligent nor courageous enough to see the truth of things, and the rest who KNOW, but still seek to serve the status quo (which will be very HARD to do when the dyin' starts).

Something bad is coming down the pike, for sure.
Not sure what can be done about it.

Yeah, to between 600 to 1000 ppm CO2 and the methane released from the permafrost.
But we've seen levels like that before. It's a problem, to be sure, and there'll be some animal die off and mass migration due to animals having some difficulty adapting to the change in atmo and temp. But people talk like it's the end of the world or the human race or something.
Exaggerating the science just turns people off, or makes them skeptical.

Hey.
You want to say someone's smarter than me, ante up the scientific data and studies that give that number and I'll tell you if they are or not.

Ah.
Then I am mollified that your concerns are realistic. Just watch out for that 3 billion number. Lots of people bandy it around, but I've never seen much actual calculation or modeling to support it. The actual carrying capacity of the Earth is widely contested, and there's even still plenty of question left about just what happened to Easter Island and what the actual carrying capacity was there as well.

REM is one of the few GOOD things to come out of Athens, GA. Them and The B-52's. ( Kate Pierson....yes,please! )
But I digress.

Quote:Carrying capacity estimation is affected by present location of populace and likely or possible migratory factors combined with food production capability due to soil density/loss and cyclical climate change by millennia. Plus or minus 2 billion.
