(602 posts)I've read many predictions on global warming effects. In general, the predictions go from screwed to totally screwed. This post would be somewhere near the top of "totally screwed" -- maybe even in a brand new category -- "totally fucking screwed".
I wonder if articles like this make people reading them cop an attitude of " fuck it, it's all over with anyway, why vote, why even try". I doubt it, and I hope not. We fail automatically if we stop trying and stop hoping for a better future.
I am about 100% sure that the U.S. and no doubt other governments are preparing for global warming worst case scenario. Articles that I've read in scientific websites and other places speculate on vast underground dwellings being constructed that will run off of the ample supplies of sunshine. A sufficient sampling of the population will be saved in worst case scenario to ensure survival of the human race -- needless to say, there will only be enough room for the best, the brightest, and the healthiest. If it comes down to this, there is a bright side. That is, the human race that one day emerges from that underground sanctuary will stand a good chance of being a vastly superior group of humans than exist on the planet currently, taken in their entirety. It could be a new beginning.
