World population to near zero growth by the end of the century: Pew Research

[Moostache]

6. Nope...world population growth is going to go negative by 2050 or sooner...

The impact of climate change has been downplayed and presented in overly optimistic terms for decades longer than it should have...we are seeing impacts everywhere today - floods, storms, +40 degree changes in the arctic temperatures!

(that is NOT a typo either...)

We are going to see some really evil things in the coming decades. Nukes WILL get used. Billions WILL starve or die in resource wars and suppressed migration attempts to flee climate rocked and inhospitable regions. And that's just for openers...

Does ANYONE believe that modern society is structured in ANY WAY to accommodate a nearly 8-FOLD increase in Octogenarians (from 140+ million now to nearly 900+ million in the future)? In the USA, caring for the aging is already at crisis levels for those in need of or attempting to provide care....too many patients, not enough nurses, not enough facilities, not enough money to go around...

If the climate and aging are not enough to collapse society, the near total loss of jobs to automation in scores of current jobs is going to also rock everyone's world.

Pick the worst parts of disaster movies from the past and amplify them and you will be close to what is coming right for us... Things are gonna get REAL BAD, REAL FAST... I fear humanity's collective response will make WWI and WWII seem quaint by comparison.
