I will name four forms of Armageddon that could happen by the year 2060 to 2100. (See below)

1. It takes 1 acre of arable land to feed one human for one year. We have 15.77 billion acres of arable land. The world population this minute is about 7.6 billion. In 2050. world population is expected to reach 9.7 billion. By the year 2100, world populatation will reach 11.2 billion. Notice anything about the numbers?

2. If commercial fishermen are allowed to continue bulldozing the ocean floor to catch fish, the oceans will be completely dead by the year 2060, because the ocean floor is where new fish hatch. Ocean birds will also die because they will have nothing to eat. Right now fish accounts for 20% of the worlds' protein intake.

3. If the Atlantic ocean heats up too much, the Gulf Stream will stop moving. It is cold water that propels it. If the Gulf Stream stops, life as we know it will end.

4. If an EMP from ANY nation is exploded over another technological nation in space, 90% of the people of the technological nation will die. Food, transport of food, water pumping, are all completely dependent on electricity in technological nations.

Based on the information above, can anyone explain to me WHY we are not focused on these issues? Instead we fritter away our time obsessing about the most stupid things...like Trumps hair, or white male privilege. I am just urging ALL of you to focus...focus...focus!!! Even though hands may be waving to your left, saying "Look over here, not over there!" please don't be duped. Please think about what is really important.

The inevitable will happen eventually. The only thing that we can rely on is each other.

@softspokenman The inevitable, as you call it, need not be inevitable. There are things we can do NOW (see below) to prevent at least these four things from happening.

I agree that the only way to fix a problem is to identify it and talk about it so that everyone becomes aware of it and then does something about it. There are people in this life that don't know what clean water is, there is poaching of wild animals, leaders murdering their own people, children that are hungry and homeless in our own streets, people shooting, killing, attacking, each other, and I cant afford adequate healthcare. (This is the short list) And we have intelligent, educated, politicians, that say they represent us ?@4meAndyou

Many of the things talked about on here aren't new they have been happening for, at least, generations and the people who have been trying to change those things are called 'Liberals' (and many other things) spit out like a filthy taste in the mouth. How long does it take to educate people about reality ? @4meAndyou

@softspokenman There is an immense amount of energy and passion in the world right now. People are waking up. Imagine...for just one moment....that all the energy we have seen in the millions of demonstrators was actually directed at even one of the issues named above. Imagine that.

I have imagined and I agree but the problem is which one do we begin with ? Someone (group) will always disagree. I recently saw a news item about trying to stay ahead of other countries that are developing super sonic air craft to deliver more weapons of mass destruction faster to kill more people as a top priority and another that 'fake news' is destroying the country by POTUS that is a proven liar in the past and still does, why ? @4meAndyou

@softspokenman I think that preventing nuclear war is number one, and there are people working on that. I think the second and the most crucial is the ocean and fishing regulation. I think the third is to address globla warming in a very serious way, even if we have to vaporize sulfur in 10% of the amount that killed the dinosaurs by creating a new ice age. Lastly, every messed up woman who actually believes that having 12 children is a good idea needs to have her head examined...by ALL of us whose one grandchild will be competing with her 42 grandchildren for food.

When we have a leadership that doesn't think that education is important and undermines it what should we expect ? @4meAndyou

4meAndyou · F

@softspokenman Education is not important? Undermined? Well...that sounds like a 20 paragraph topic. We should start a separate question so that it has importance and gets noticed.

I just saw a news item (local KRQE,cbs) what NASA is doing to get people on Mars 'sooner', 2 new designs of space craft, for 2020 launching. ???? @4meAndyou

@softspokenman I posted an education discussion question for you. Let's go there.
