Are we living in the last century of our civilization? Is it possible that all of our technology, knowledge and wealth cannot save us from ourselves? Could our society actually be heading towards collapse?
According to many of the world's top scientists, the answer is yes, unless we take action now.
This September, in Earth 2100, a dramatic ABC News 2-hour broadcast (http://earth2100.tv/), the greatest minds across the globe will join together in a countdown to the year 2100 to tell us what we must do to survive the next century … And what may happen if we don't.
The time to act is now, says Peter Gleick, president of the Pacific Institute.
"The 21st century is going to be the century which determine[s] whether we live or die as a sustainable species," Gleick said. "As populations grow, as our use of resources grows, I think we get closer and closer to that edge."

The solution is so simple that no one wants to believe it.

As the evidence mounts that AGW is a shameless hoax perpetrated by power-lusting elitists, the urgency and stridency of the ecowacko rhetoric ramps up. The only victim of Gorebull Warming is science, which has been perverted to support the fraud that lines AlBore's pockets with the only green that the son of a bitch cares about.

Are we living in the last century of our civilization?
Quite possibly, but not because of the hoax of climate change

Better evidence that we are living in the last century of civilization is that hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars are spent every year by people interested in trying to report on and/or follow the (so-called) lives of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, etc.

You guys need to read that classic science fiction book.

THE MARCHING MORONS

We may actually be headed that way as described in the book.

[TeenageRepublican]

Possibly. But it will not be because of New York City getting flooded.

That does not, however, mean that mankind won't have to live thru another Dark Ages of several centuries.
