Global warming is a fact...human influence on global warming is speculation...and global warming is a cyclical and historical fact!
BUT the two most threatening issues facing our future are MUCH more relevant and immediate...
1) The caldera underneath Yellowstone Park is WAYYYY overdue for its next explosion, and has risen an unprecedented 3 feet in the past few years. The last explosion covered the WHOLE OF the continental US in 5 feet of ash, caused a global winter for decades and resulted in one of the world's most devastating 'species wipeouts'
and more importantly than that...
2) We will reach the Hubbert Peak for
oil within 15 years even with the most optimistic of forecasts, and we will reach the Hubbert Peak for Uranium within 30 years...
Global warming will be irrelevant because there is no way to switch the western world from an
oil based economy to "who knows what" in 15 years anyhow....the direst predictions say that at best, we will be back to an 18th century agrarian economy by the end of the century and 80% of the world's population will be dead by then anyhow.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are fortunate and privileged to live at the zenith of the human race's civilized path to destruction...it will get NO BETTER THAN IT IS NOW...so put your foot down on the accelerator, it's all going to run out soon anyhow...
