globally warmed. were all dead.

PS we tried to make it to space, but we ended up just making warships and we all died still.

Meteor will hit the earth in a few years and we all die. World will be occupied by those most foul and persistant and who don't need air or food to survive (ie. madcow).

"No-one knows exactly what the current extinction rate is, but recent calculations by leading scientists put it at between 1,000 and 10,000 times greater than it would naturally be. The rate of extinction also appears to be increasing. Species are threatened in every habitat on every continent, though the severity of threat varies from place to place."

continue one half of all species of life on earth will
be extinct in 100 years."

I see it much like in Fallout: we ran out of oil (in case anyone doesn't know, with current rate of consumption oil will end in about 2040) and our civilization, being totaly dependant on it, died out (or it could be from a war for oil), ecology is fucked up, remains of population live pretty much in "middle age", the curtain drops

I think humans will survive and be independent of things like fossil fuels. At the rate this is going a lot of people and environments will suffer in the next 50 years. Ice caps will melt, we will lose a lot of valuable ecological systems, and A LOT of third world countries will die cuz of that. But in the next 50 years after 2050 or so we will be technologically stable enough to survive. Technology doubles every 10 (?) years or so? We've only had technology for like 60 years and look how far we've gone. Imagine what id be like in 2100.

This guy gives a really good description of what the world will be like. He talks about type I, II, and III civilizations. How we are still type 0 and type 1 civilization is only like a few hundred years.

This guy is really good at explaining physics. I have read like 2 of his books which are very simple to read and explain a lot compared to the other physics books which are extremely complicated to understand.

So when the aliens come, they will have no chance of winning over our strategic minds? The only message sent to them will be: gg?

Without major changes to the dominant socio-economic systems I see little to be hopeful about. The capitalist system as it stands is inherantly destructive. That is just inherant in the logic of the system. Beside the social issues, it is slowly but surely eroding the environment around us. Now the system as it stands has no means to deal with these kinds of problems because the fundamental basis is short-term profit, this fact is just institutional in that it is built into the very structure. One of the oldest mottos or catchphrases of the capitalist system is 'private vices, public benefits', that somehow everything is going to work out. Well it is not going to, and it never was.

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.

There is a reason no other advanced civilization has ever contacted us, when a species gets this advanced they eventually blow themselves up.

There's really no end to what the human race can do. We can all sit and make predictions, but the future brings forth people who think of things not even fathomed by the individuals of our time. Each generation spawns potentially brilliant people who can solely further advance the world with complex theories and inventions. We here on tl.net can't foresee what these people might see. Do you think people in 1904 thought of making a board full of silicone, microscopic chips, batteries, and transistors to send information within milliseconds to a computer screen ? In 2104, the world will be totally different because of new inventions and people that affect the way we live. I think there will be totally different goals for the world in 2100 then what tl.net thought up today. If you can think of this stuff now, it will be something in-significant in 2100.

There'll possibly be some problems with the ever-thinning ozone-layer, causing some parts of the world to be inhabitable. Nature-wise 100 years is a very short time, but then again, the industrialization is quite a new thing considering the timeline of the human race and has already caused plenty of problems.

Given the issues, i'm glad i'm alive now, not 100 years from now.

btw, how the hell would the zerg be able to stop a halo of 1000 nukes?

Nobody uses nukes like they are supposed to in starcraft. Wouldnt a nuke disintegrate the overmind? Who the hell needs the Dark templar or whatever. I dont think the overmind can override the laws of physics. Like reincarnate himself from nothing.

Has anyone seen the movie The Timemachine? There is a scene that shows a very fastforward of time over hundreds of thousands of years, it shows a complete desctruction of life of all sorts, plants, animals and humans,. And then a new start on life, basically evolution starting again. And everything starting a new.

Thats a really nice idea that the earth could have the ability to rejuvenate it self, if we gave it a break.

But it could always be the end. I mean look at any other planet. Woulnd't it be wierd if millions and millions of years ago Jupiter occupied life, and there was a munch of people just like us sitting on www.teamsolid.net discussing this. And they wiped them selves out..

Time Machine was a good movie, that form of disaster isn't something everyone talks about (modern world destroyed because Moon got too close to earth right? Or crashed into earth? +_+)

Now, the moon escaping Earth's influence is something that worries me. I once watched a documental on the moon's influence, can't remember everything, but it played a vital role in the "creation" of life on earth because it gave it stability. Worlds that dont have a moon orbiting around have their axis moving too quickly to allow for an easy climate life forms can adapt too.

The combination of acid rain and mass fertalizer use is currently leaching selenium out of the earths soils.

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.
