First, I think they are head-first-knee-deep in a pile of dooky-science. But let’s give them theirs for the next point to be made.
Even if we use 1.7X what the earth can replenish, the earth started “replenishing” what we are using about a billion years ago. The erf is ahead of us by a bit.
I then contend, that Mother Earth has been anxiously awaiting, expecting and hoping for this moment in time, when humans could finally start putting all her work to good use. She says, “Thank you, Dear Humans. Enjoy the fruits of my loins.”
And I know from some brief experience, that is no small sacrifice they made. LOL!
I remember naming my 1500 "Dyson". She sucked gas hard.
OK, all envirowacko’s can volunteer to stop breathing first. The rest of us will follow as time permits.
(singing)
I had me some hens, no eggs would they lay,
I had me some hens, no eggs would they lay...
But then a rooster came in our yard
and caught those hens right off their guard... (chorus)
They're layin' eggs now, they never used ta,
unitl that rooster came in our yard
They're layin' eggs now, they never used ta,
unitl that rooster came in our yard.
One earth day, I dug a hole and planted a Styrofoam cup.
...and according to a pie chart I saw in USA Today, just 2/3rds of us make up 75% of the population...
I READ IT!
IT’S TRUE!
ROTFLMAO!
I never watered it so it didn’t grow
Merde
“Science!”
The Martians won’t like that.
So, I can’t eat or breath again until Jan. 1st.
“Humanity will have consumed on 1 August all the resources that nature can renew in one year, according to the NGO Global Footprint Network.”
Thatt’s no differemt than the predictions in the past that we were consuming oil faster than we can find and produce it.
Also, it is no different than past and current predictions that we could not produce enough food to feed the world.
At any given time, the capacity of human ingenuity is the missing ingredient in all the prognosticators crystal balls.
Obviously, there are too many humans on Earth. The line for elimination will begin on the right. To be sure, the NGO Global Footprint Network will be nowhere to be found.
If everyone who believed such nonsense would proactively off themselves, the problem would be reduced, or at least we would not have to read such inane articles.
Well, I guess since we’re so screwed and doomed I might as well cut down a couple more trees that need clearing and burn a couple of more old tires. This evening I’m going to BBQ some meat and enjoy an adult beverage through a straw on my deck that that I just treated with a petroleum based product.
That was Lenny Bruce’s stock line back in his Village coffee house days. As for the Earth, I taught with a young female science teacher before I retired five years ago who used to troll her prog colleagues about Save the Earth. She would tell them,”Absent a super nova or planetary collision or wandering neutron star, the Earth will be just fine”
Hmm...well, we survived the great die-off of ‘85, the famine, the plagues, running out of oil several times, the 50-foot sea rise, the hurricanes and tornadoes and oobleck storms, global warming, global cooling, the Yellowstone eruption, halitosis, and toe fungus. Not too sure about the fungus. I just hope the beer wells don’t run dry.
AND the fall crops are still growing...
