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.

I recommend the following book:


"The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the 21st Century" by James Howard Kunstler

@Byron8by7 Thank you for the good post. I had been thinking you would have to Amish to survive.

@4meAndyou Many think the Amish will be more prepared than most of us.

Kunstler also wrote four novels, the "World Made By Hand" series, about life in the 21st century in a small town in upstate New York after the end of modern civilization. Interesting to contemplate.

@Byron8by7 The Amish believe that their way of life is SO important that it was dictated to them by God. The Hopi Indians believe that they are the survivors of the destruction of the fourth world, and that the only way to survive the destruction of the fifth world is to live underground.

I spent every summer of my childhood on a farm in western Nebraska with so few modern conveniences we could almost have survived an emp.
