For years you said it was all BS. Yeah, because I couldn’t see a good scientific reason for it. The thing is, climate change though devastating to some populations has quite a small effect on sea levels, maybe a couple of meters change, and again relatively small changes to the patterns of vegetation and animals. This thing with the insects though, that’s well-researched science. It will have major effects on ecosystems. It’s still only one result, for Germany’s national parks, but it sounds like the rest of the scientific community has been sitting on their hands. We don’t know how widespread it is, but it could be very bad. We could end up with cities and hi-tech farms on a desert planet, if ecosystem collapse is not halted. Problems with the degradation of topsoil are still being investigated, but that could bring mass farming to a halt within a couple of hundred years, and that would have disastrous consequences for the food supply at a time when the planet is looking to sustain 10 billion humans. The science of this actually makes sense, and it is alarming. The reason why I think it belongs in this thread is because it is like these other problems, they are long-term ecological issues. And mankind has proven to be very poor at the large scale decision making and systems modification that is needed to fix these issues. It’s beginning to look like we might be doomed.

And mankind has proven to be very poor at the large scale decision making and systems modification that is needed to fix these issues. It’s beginning to look like we might be doomed. i have always thought that as a species on this planet we are doomed - since the age of 6. i think humanity long went past the point of No return - 500 years ago was the time Global systemic alternatives should have been introduced. No one knows the future - lets see what transpires as the 21st Century moves forward? i have a friend who isn't bothered by anything - if i raise these areas with him he just laughs & says it's only a planet. We're all going to die sooner or later anyway & in the grand cosmic scheme of things does it all really matter? There is zero way anyway within the current global 'civilisation' that humanity is going to come to any agreement on anything. Individuals / groups / organisations / cults are now proliferating at an enormous rate all stating that they have the solution. This guy has been going on at me on facebook - he's a total fanatic - biopantheism.wordpress.com/2016/06/22/the-purpose-goals-motivations-intentions-of-biopantheism/i have also been in communication with these people - again a total cult imo - www.humancondition.com/The internet is also breeding all this at an alarming rate, & 'no one' agrees with each other. i have my own 5 point plan as well that has no more hope than anything else of changing anyone's mind or being implemented - healingsanctuary.proboards.com/thread/1330/intimations-collective-evolution-world

The thing is, we know what needs to be done... the number of humans needs to be brought down, we need to stop using so much pesticide, we need to put in place large marine and wildlife preserves, we need to start eating vegetarian... there are simple goals that will help us and the planet. The problem is actually implementing it requires people to go against their short term interests and desires, in a concerted and global way. Doing that without a vast upheaval and economic upset is very hard.
That we can’t even persuade people of the way forwards with such a large scientific voice is a serious issue. People don’t listen, they’re stubborn and unwilling to be persuaded. Or they think, them, but not me. The proliferation of voices on the internet is just a symptom of that, and in the end we seem to be doing everything we can to make things worse, for example extending people’s lives and making it difficult for people to choose to end their own lives.

Whether all that can transition into something else who knows. i don't know if i shared this the other day - a book that i got hold of recently - mass dreams of the future - spiritualdynamics.net/articles/massdreams/
