Frankly, the world as we know it is going away, soon.

260. EXACTLY! Scientists are just wrong sometimes. What's so hard to understand about that?

They're human beings. They make mistakes. They make errors. They jump to wrong conclusions.

There is no starvation problem because of Food Shortage.
There IS a Food Distrubtion problem because of greedy people hoarding everything away from those who don't have anything.
THAT'S true.
But there is no food shortage whatsoever.
There's enough food on this planet to make all 7 billion people here 700 pounds obese.

I'm sympathetic to the oil concern & we really need to find a better energy source than that.
But a lot of this is misguided Chicken Little crap.
We're more resourceful than the Chicken Littles give us credit for & so is the Earth & its habitats.

It's a bunch of half-knowledge & half-knowledge is dangerous.
People like to disparage religious figures for their hyperbole.
But scientific figures can be just as prone to that kind of hyperbole.
It's not a matter of religion vs. science.
It's a matter of monkey-brained humankind, plain & simple.

If we don't learn how to adapt to the Earth changes, we won't survive.
The only constant is Change.
Take it from a guy who loves his routine to tell you best.
I like to plan & put down roots & secure everything...but ultimately I know I can't marry myself to that alone.
I better learn how to roll with punches every once & awhile.
It's hard for me deal with when things change so trust me when I tell ya.
Can't always lock everything down. Better learn to be flexible & adaptable when the situation calls for it.
