“global superpredator”  Hadn’t heard that term before, but it’s pretty damned accurate a description of what we have been doing, not just for the past one two hundred years, but the past 10, 15K worth of years.  We started small, but that was then, this is now.

Bob: The interdependence among autonomous states made them vulnerable to disruptions in trade in everything from raw materials and food to weapons and luxury goods.  The nations today are probably more dependent on trade than ever before.

Okay that’s plenty true.  But what happened back then was that trade routes collapsed, nations collapsed, but the biosphere, except for localized places, remained varied, fecund – what we are doing to day is destroying our foundational biosphere.

I hear many people convince that humans will survive, but I’ve yet to hear anyone think it threw, how can they, they seem very uninformed about our biosphere’s interconnected interdependence systems, nor to they appreciation the complexity of the cascading consequences we are trigger.

Just like that little fairytale about, dragging glaciers across the ocean, as though all that were involved is the physical moving, and amount of fuel needed, and nothing else is plugged into their pretty stories.  Or the millions, if not billions being spent to send humans to Mars.  Jesus didn’t our immediate loss of interest in the Moon after we’d done it a few times, teach anyone anything?  But that’s what a diet of Hollywood will to people brains, probably worse than being picked in alcohol.

Bob, I’m curious if you can list some reasons why do you have faith in humans’ ability to survive beyond the next couple decades?  What are they going to do after a few more decades of ocean acidification and increasing oxygen dead zones, and our global weather patterns turn into monsters of droughts, heat, torrential down pours, and wind storms and cyclones like we’ve never experienced, add to that a portion of our globe will become so hot and steamy that humans will not be able to physically survive.

{ That isn’t shit I’ve made up in my head this past half century of paying attention and learning ever more about Earth and climate science, that simply cold sober science speaking.  The science that Faith-Blinded can’t comprehend so choose to pretend away. }
