Shouldn’t resource depletion short-circuit climate change?

, life as we know it could come to an end

Yes, life, in all its primitive and advanced forms have been around for 3,500,000,000 years, but it's all going to end soon./s

Bah! 10 years ago, ABC News, among others, also issued dire warnings about the collapse of civilization from the Millennium Bug.

Well, you may have heard all those other things and not too much have come of them — but — you better be watching out for the 7-Year-Tribulation that is coming, because that one is no joke...

As I posted on the “global cooling” thread.

The solution, obviously, will be

GLOBAL SOCIALISM AND REDUCED WESTERN LIFESTYLE...

as it is with any “crisis”.

Everything will change on April 4, 2063. Just outside of Bozeman, Montana.

The death cult continues. First that TV series “After People” with all the crumbling cities,,, now this. Its frightening to see a generation that simply hates humanity unless its confined to a hut.

"'Earth 2100': the Final Century of Civilization?"

Yes, 2100 I totally believe this! I used to fret about the year 2000, but yes, 2100! It all makes sense.....2100 not 2000 it's the end of the world!

We better start preparing now! That's when Algore says global warming will be at it's peak and we will all die! That is unless we spend $199.99 (per person) for Algores survival kit! Absolutely Guaranteed to work! If you don't survive you will get double your money back!

Yes 2100! How could we have missed it!

Buy your Algore 2100 survival kit NOW before its TOO LATE!

If you went back to NYC, circa 1900, and told him that there'd be 8 million people living in the city in the 21st century...then asked him "What is the biggest problem that they'll face?"

You might get an answer like "Who will clean up the crap from all of the horses they'll need?"

Assuming that progress continues unabated - AlGore and his acolytes DON'T get their way - the technology of 2100 not only will be stranger than we imagine, it will be stranger than we can imagine.

All bets are off, though, if we allow pols and their fellow travelers to scare us into de-evolution with imaginary boogeymen.

That very survey was done at the Columbian Exposition and that's the exact answer that was given.

Total BS

Hypothesis from beginning to end.

Scare tactics to grab more controls on the people. Not unusual. Do not buy into this garbage.

They have been selling disaster from the planet itself for years and years.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

Or we could listen to these idiots and end up living under the boot of men in black turbans. Different story, same effect.

It will be if Antichrist or Obama have anything to say about it, but I’m being redundant.
