When Trump, Kim, Putin, Li & Co get serious, the world population will dwindle to close to that - because only Australia, Africa and a few islands will be habitable.
The truth, however, is that many of us may not care about the fate of civilization. Forty four percent of the American population is convinced that Jesus will return to judge the living and the dead sometime in the next fifty years. According to the most common interpretation of biblical prophecy, Jesus will return only after things have gone horribly awry here on earth. It is, therefore, not an exaggeration to say that if the city of New York were suddenly replaced by a ball of fire, some significant percentage of the American population would see a silver lining in the subsequent mushroom cloud, as it would suggest to them that the best thing that is ever going to happen was about to happen: the return of Christ. It should be blindingly obvious that beliefs of this sort will do little to help us create a durable future for ourselves—socially, economically, environmentally, or geopolitically. Imagine the consequences if any significant component of the U.S. government actually believed that the world was about to end and that its ending would be glorious. The fact that nearly half of the American population apparently believes this, purely on the basis of religious dogma, should be considered a moral and intellectual emergency. The book you are about to read is my response to this emergency. It is my sincere hope that you will find it useful.
Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
This could describe any time in man’s history. Funny how the pious will always insist their prophecies are at hand, when little or nothing has changed since the prophesies were foisted on the world.
The plastic thats entering the oceans and food chain is already doing that.....it woulnt take wars ,just our own pollutants will create terrible abnormalities in our children being born....plastic and god knows what other things are dumped in our seas and oceans..... Has America stopped dumping ship loads of land fill domestic refuse of the coast of Venexpels...What happens to those huge refuse barges towed out in long lines to sea from New York harbour ? What happens to the bleach ,washing up detergents and cloths washing powders disposed of into our sewer systems ? How is it removed before it gets into our rivers...?
My third grandbaby is coming soon, and I hold little doubt their world will be impacted in ways we have yet to forsee.
Just read an article that reports hundreds of sea birds were found starving to death because they are so full of plastic rubbish there is no room for food.
I've watched plastic whale quite a few times now and many about the bottom feeders of the oceans..so many have minute peices in thier bodies and we eat them.. The Pitcairn islands ,the most remote islands in the world all have plastic Rubbish strewn across their beeches.. No country with huge wealth and resorces bother to clean our seas and oceans....plus who dumps what other dangerous chemicals in the oceans....
I always get a kick out of conspiracy theories....
Left to our own devices, we could well bring our own demise. By outstripping the earth’s ability to support so many billions, man’s poor management of resources and pompous disregard for sane planning and cooperation could bring this closer to a reality, regardless of a plan or not.
Don't worry about it, it's on gods watch and he has a cunning plan, so we just stay calm and keep on doing as our creator created us to do, destroy the very planet we live on. NOT
