Experts Fear Collapse of Global Civilisation

183. Yeah, well.....

Limpy, I don't "get" my "information" from anywhere. All I'm doing is thinking rationally and using common sense(which, sadly, seems to be lacking in some), and because of this, I've been able to arrive at the conclusion that a global collapse of civilization is just not feasible because of AGW alone, within the next 100-150 years at the very least. Of course, that's not to say that other things couldn't happen as well, such as an asteroid impact, or Yellowstone erupting.....but other than the involvement of things like that, I can't bet my money on a global collapse.....(a few serious regional problems may not be out of the question, though, especially where the Middle East is involved, as well as China and much of Africa)

BTW, Limpy, as an example, there were plenty of people, scientists included, who genuinely believed the world as we knew it might very well end in 2000 if the Y2K fears came true.....I find this talk of short-term global collapse to be quite similar; based not on fact, but fear. And it's a bit disconcerting to see this stuff paraded around as factual by certain people.
