Anyways, the climate problem is big and in my opinion unsolvable. Eventually the earth will balance itself out. Mankind will probably not be around to witness that then. Conditions will change and mankind cannot evolve quickly enough to cope with the changing conditions. Every 100.000 years every animal over 25kg on earth died. We where always living in borrowed time anyways. We might have made that process faster for us but it was always going to be inevitable. That doesnt mean you have to go crazy with polluting the environment. But changing our society drastically wont help one bit either.
Its much the same as staying away of all the temptations in life for a full lifetime only to find out you only live a month longer then your neighbor who enjoyed every temptation in life.
Those who say the end of the world have pushed back the dates for so many years? Why? Hum, it could be that they are wrong all the time?
The fact is . . . no human knows when the end of the world (as in the end of the sickness, wickedness, corrupt business and goverments, etc.).
We only can look at the times we are living in and detect that we are in the beginning of the conclusion of the system of things.
Many business venues use this ploy for attention and generate revenue. They know that this is one of the concerns for the general population.
Slicer, I know you were not waying that it was going to end. I am just approaching the general thinking of people.
