As of 2015:
- They are anticipating 10 billion humans on earth in our life time, this is not a healthy growth, this is an infection of this planet. I wish it weren't true, I wish it was just crazy hippie talk, but there simply ARE NOT enough resources for all these people.
- The water depletion in the country is HUGE, especially here in CA, water prices are sky high. They called it 10 years ago and said water prices in CA will sky rocket by 2020 but instead it is already a head ache by 2014. The lack of rain is not helping.
- The food supply of the ocean is depleting, though it is hard to predict, they believe by 2040 the ocean will no longer be able to produce enough food for supply. Anyone who thinks these are crazy theories is completely oblivious to whats going on in this planet. They can't farm raise fish because they require anchovies, anchovies numbers are seriously depleted. Nothing is sanctioned, governments fund boats to go out and scoop up the ocean with nets big enough to fit 13 airplanes.
- The quality of our foods is deteriorating in order to keep up with the demand. Most of you are well aware of this problem
- Antibiotic resistance is growing, they are running out of ways to defeat bacterial infections and sepsis is a common occurrence at this point. Bugs like E coli and salmonella are becoming more and more resistant through our feedlot animals and antibiotics are not able to defeat them anymore
- There isn't enough land, water, and acreage to support all these humans. Farm animals and crops require more land-> more water-> More problems
My point is not to create an end of the world or doomsday like thread. But the problem is this idea that the fate of the world rests on if global warming is true or not has distracted us from MAJOR problems. There needs to be some solution and soon, this is NOT something that will dramatically affect us in our life time but the fate of our species has dramatically fallen because we keep thinking about our life time and not the life time of 1000's of years from now.
It's sad to say this, but the guy from the Matrix was right. Human beings are not mammals from an ecological stand point, we just use up resources, there is no equilibrium.
