near term extinction
 
Hey Folks,
I have been reading A LOT on global warming, feedback loops, CO2 measurements, and methane plumes. I am convinced that life on this planet will end in the next 35 years. I am sorry to be a doomsdayer, but I thought you folks might wan to really take some time to read up on this stuff.

Look up Guy McPherson, Nature bats last, and so on. I know that as of today, I am going to start rearranging my priorities and my activities.


I wish you all the best, and remember, we still have today and each other.

Mark

On the plus side, prepping is useless!

Prepping is living well in the present and leaving something for tomorrow regardless.

Hopefully, after seeing the hellish existence my parents had much past 80, I will be as well.

Judging by my family genetics, 35 more years might be stretching it a bit
but is doable. :D

Looking back at the last 35 years what are the most dramatic changes?...cell phones!

I do not think there will be anything spectacular for the next 35. I doubt the
new pills will have less side effects.

Oh shit the terrorists might become more efficient. :eek:

Well, just think of all the money you could save on Spam in the intervening years.

I'm 67.

My plan is to live 43 more years and then be shot to death by a jealous husband at the age of 110.
