Current Events > The type of things we'll be facing in the coming decades...it's not pretty.

(+) Yeah! (+)

1. mass extinction of all land animals. Note that the vast majority has occurred within 30 years, so potentially we could see the rest go within a shorter time frame

2. mass extinction of all sea life. There are reports that over 90% of all large marine life is gone, overfishing is continuing and there are reports that the ocean will be cleansed of all life by 2050

3. Insect biomass is disappearing at 2.5% per year which will only snowball as agriculture increases. Another mass extinction even which will speed up more extinction as the food chains are hugely disrupted

4. Permafrost melting ice melting. both contain unthinkable amounts of carbon and methane which will be the absolute hammer blow to our civilisation, I think most know enough about this to go on any further

5. antibiotic resistance. there's been many articles showing that doctors and scientist believe within 10 to 15 years most antibiotics will lose effectiveness. this is crazy as pencillin was more or less the greatest invention and kickstarted modern medicine, people will literally die from infections and all surgeries will be a roll of the dice

6. chronic disease explosion. diabetes,cancer, heart disease, dementia and dozens of other diseases have exploded to unthinkable numbers. Ive read many warnings and articles from doctors who think within the next decade the entire medical system could collapse from the huge strain on budgets as entire populations contract these diseases

My prediction 2030 will see the all these issues intersect and a series of hammer blows will bring most nations to their knees and we could start officially seeing the acceptance of collapse world wide. Now im not a scientist or anything and I know ive probably missed a hundred other issues o please feel free to add anything you know about

Basically the Boomers fucked us hard and are going to get away with a cushy retirement treeko
