Maybe thats the plan?

Well... I would hardly call what we have today paradise, even if there were a lot less of us to eat up all the food and drink up all the water. There will be a lot of empty real estate.
But yeah... I'm sure the big brains on top have a scheme.

Unlike other societies which failed to successfully adapt to long-term environmental changes, the Easter Island disaster, according to Diamond, was entirely self-generated.
What does this tell me? It shows for me the power of BELIEF OVER REALITY. Catastrophe can be literally right before peoples' eyes, but they fail to see. BELIEF can be about a lot of things ... God(s). The superiority of one's tribe over another. Dems versus repubs. War. Money. Ownership. Profit. RUSSIA!! Trump. Obama.
Beliefs cloud perception of what is. The societally-fatal beliefs seem to be mostly about war and about (short term) technological fixes solving long-term problems (Anasazi).
what would we see if we removed the beliefs which cloud our perception? Would we be horrified?
THE FUTURE OF HUMAN HISTORY AS A SCIENCE:
In ancient times, however, much of the Fertile Crescent and eastern Mediterranean region, including Greece, was covered with forest. The region’s transformation from fertile woodland to eroded scrub or desert has been elucidated by paleobotanists and archaeologists. Its woodlands were cleared for agriculture, or cut to obtain construction timber, or burned as firewood or for manufacturing plaster. Because of low rainfall and hence low primary productivity (proportional to rainfall), regrowth of vegetation could not keep pace with its destruction, especially in the presence of overgrazing by abundant goats. With the tree and grass cover removed, erosion proceeded and valleys silted up, while irrigation agriculture in the low-rainfall environment led to salt accumulation. These processes, which began in the Neolithic era, continued into modern times. For instance, the last forests near the ancient Nabataean capital of Petra, in modern Jordan, were felled by the Ottoman Turks during construction of the Hejaz railroad just before World War I.
Thus, Fertile Crescent and eastern Mediterranean societies had the misfortune to arise in an ecologically fragile environment. They committed ecological suicide by destroying their own resource base. Power shifted westward as each eastern Mediterranean society in turn undermined itself, beginning with the oldest societies, those in the east (the Fertile Crescent). Northern and western Europe has been spared this fate, not because its inhabitants have been wiser but because they have had the good luck to live in a more robust environment with higher rainfall, in which vegetation regrows quickly. Much of northern and western Europe is still able to support productive intensive agriculture today, 7,000 years after the arrival of food production. In effect, Europe received its crops, livestock, technology, and writing systems from the Fertile Crescent, which then gradually eliminated itself as a major center of power and innovation.
That is how the Fertile Crescent lost its huge early lead over Europe.

‘Extraordinary thinning’ of ice sheets revealed deep inside Antarctica
New research shows affected areas are losing ice five times faster than in the 1990s, with more than 100m of thickness gone in some places

I propose everybody leave their fridge and freezer doors open for one week straight while cranking up their A/C to max even if it's not hot yet.
That ought to cool everything down to levels that are acceptable to Marcos.

Quote:When asked on Monday whether Trump is seeking war with or regime change in Iran, he replied, “We’ll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything, it would be a very bad mistake. If they do anything. I’m hearing little stories about Iran. If they do anything, they will suffer greatly. We’ll see what happens with Iran.”

I wonder how many times Trump needs to say "If they do anything" and "We’ll see what happens with Iran"? Despite the unnecessary repetition, I am super-confidence he can handle the CO2 problem with a brain like his working at full speed. It is good to know that Donald "I am a very stable genius" Trump is working on the problem. Oh, then I realize too late he is the only guy in the world who pulled his country out of the Paris Climate Agreement to control CO2. Suddenly I'm not so confident.

REAVERBOT, I may agree with you about global climate change, but I find it impossible to care about it when YOU say it.
Why?
Because you're a fucking jackass, and a stupid bot to boot.

Chris Martenson, predominantly a financial critic, is now talking openly about the inevitability of collapse: "...the unthinkable is forcing its way into our collective consciousness. The ecosystems of the world that have gently held civilizations over the past 10,000 years are collapsing."
