Given wars, climate change, natural disasters, how much longer will humans inhabit planet Earth?

• How much of Al Gores dung have you eaten? It's affecting your thinking...oh wait, without a brain, thinking is out of the question anyway.

• @WOT Thank you for liking my answer earlier, but i dont agree with you on the Al Gore thing. If we went with his plans to make better cars and be more green efficient, we wouldnt be so reliant on oil. Which by the way because of us needing oil cause we refuse to try to change our ways we are fighting a war that costs us at least 2 billion dollars a week. Which is one of the major reason we are in debt and china basically owns us as if they were our pimp.

• 10 years is batshit coconut crazy. to go from 7 billion to 0 in 10 years would be record breaking. unless you have foreknowledge of some kind of cosmic catastrophe that'll happen in 10 years, then 10 years is hyperbole by several orders of magnitude.

• Buddy just because its on a bigger scale doesnt mean anything, besides how many people there are only effects the war aspect, and scale doesnt mean it hasnt still been happening or that it is anymore or less worse than now. So the numbers of people who are fighting each other now compared to then dont mean anything cause its still fighting, we just have alot more people. Look I will say society needs to change some things, but i will also say this, the human race would not have survived as long as it has if it wasnt for the fact we constanly adapt and thrive in any situation presented to us.

• humans have only been around 1 million years or so. the sun will consume the earth about 8 billion years from now, and you're guessing that humans will still be on the earth at that time?
  
  when night falls, do you think it's permanent?
  
  i'm drinking a cup of tea right now, would you guess i'd still be drinking it 27 years from now?
  
  i've been drinking this cup of tea for five minutes. so a 27 year long cup of tea is proportional to the amount of time you think humans will remain on the earth versus how long we've been on the earth.

• The Tree of cousinship. The Laws of Thermal Dynamics. Homonids 4 million years homo sapeins 250 000 the thing about ratio and proportion can be applied to but not substaintiated It almost like aguing gods existence. Now we talk about margins and some of the ones we are approaching in the face of finite limits with in our biosphere. The amount of through put energies homosapeins are burning through are reaching limits. A river slows for no man and niether does the Entropic Bill. Some areas of the planet facing this problem. Croatia google it's shores... the Deforestation every where lumber is forested..... Egypt and Greece neither have any natural resources left and it is showing. The strain on the environment in these regions is why there is war when the competion is at this level life is nothing but stressful........ The imperial conquest just changed its look. The only thing that kept the old world from colapse was colinization.. It's eased the Entropic Bill by lessening the population and gaining new resources. We utilized these resources to grow to a population of 6.8 billion in just under 200 years pretty much. And now we are seeing that the margins to sustain this are just not attainable with out collapse of the environment. In our life times will witness mass starvation of peoples because of what I described. I have no ill intent. But your narrow view of the situation is something of ignorance is bliss.

• mr. black, i'm very sympathetic to your ideas, but please try to explain your position clearly and coherently. posts like this reinforce the lunatic doomer stereotype.

• Problem is people are always faced with info the comes from "slicing" They are either given or take one inference and make a stance on it. Unfortunatley I am not a writer and have a hard time illustrating the links one has to the next and looking at the big picture. I have come to look at the world vacant of politics (National Government only include you for your taxes to further the theatre of National Government illusion")In the States the Civil War never ended they just put it in a room and agreed to play nice. I do not think I need to elaborate on this. There are Laws of physics that need to be satisfied and there are organic priciples that are over looked (biomimicry) 8 billion take X amount energy from the planet that can only realisticly provide amount x=y. Our atmophere is like a catalitic converter once it is used up we are done. I can go on and on the point is many models need to be satisfied just because someone figures away around one doesn't mean they have the others figured out.My point being broadening your view will help you see the holes others have and that cool that they are trying but more reading is at hand. Ethynol fuel is a bust because when we take a look at the science it doesn't work. The amount of corn it takes to fill a tank of gas could feed a man for a year in terms of energy, still doesn't get rid of Co2 and the amount of energy it takes to grow it makes it even a further bust for the environment. This is only one example fed by capitalist to make money and not put to the test before stock could be sold.
