Viruses such as AIDS and Hepatits flourish in populations that have depleted selenium. Did you know 1/3 of the earth currently has AIDS or Hepatitis? Or that in 2050 1 billion people will have AIDS (actually current projections are forcing new and higher estimates to be calculated)? It will not be an asteroid or civil war that wipes out civilization, it will be something gay like ruiing the soil. At least I will be dead. | ||

another hundred years? that's ridiculous. even in the absolute worst case: humanity could survive just with the solar, hydroelectric, wind and earth warm power plants we have today. assuming we would just use up all the oil and not care about renewable energy until that day when the last drop of oil is gone a great part of humanity would probably die to hunger or cold but still there would be at least a billion people left. guess the kyoto countries will be better off than others...

Considering the environment once again, we can go on thinking of the world as possessing infinite resources and having an infinite capacity to absorb the endless waste and pollution we are generating, but of course this is not true and even as we all sit here reading this site there are forests being cut down, seas being polluted and on and on and on. Now the capitalist socio-economic systems we have in place in the 'developed world' are not going to deal with these problems, that is just an institutional fact. If the CEO of Ford woke up tomorrow and had an epiphany and decided to, for example, scale down the production of internal combustion engine vehicles in favour of massive investment in long-term development of 'greener' cars then he would be lucky to have a job by the afternoon. The institutional structure does not allow this kind of development. Profit comes first. There is no second. Of course, people have faced tough problems for centuries. The major difference is that we now have the technology to not only destroy the world in an instant but to expand our voracious appetite for the world's resources at a frightening rate. At the present time there is no apparatus, internal democracy or international organisations to even begin to cope with the problems we may well face over the next 100 years. Under the current system, with its stranglehold on the mainstream media, the idea of social planning, even of the most democratic kind, is regarded as virtually subversive, an interference with the 'free market'. Change to a more equitable system, the breaking down of major concentrations of illegitimate private power and the development of a truly participatory economy must come from below. Mass grass roots movements for change within the populations of the developed countries are the only hope for a more just and ultimately viable future. These kinds of concerns are those which have motivated much of the anti-globalisation movement over the last 10 to 15 years, whatever the predictably hysterical harangues in the mainstream media may say. This movement demonstrates that such essential organisation is possible, even across national boundries and even within a media system which cannot admit of any possibility of a different world. There is still hope yet. | ||
