There has been an awareness shift over the last few years. Global warming has become an accepted scientific fact.
A lot of emphasis has been placed on reducing consumption of fuels that increase carbon emissions in our atmosphere. Most people understand this, if we continue to pump pollution into our air, there is going to be hell to pay in about 50 years.
The statistical models agree, that if we stop, right now, no more cars, no more factories, global warming would still wreak havoc for the next 20 to 50 years. Obviously the people of the world cannot abandon our factories and transportation systems immediately, the damage to our socio-economic systems would be devastating, not in 20 years, but tomorrow!
The best we can do is to gradually reduce the behaviors that are causing global warming.
This means that your children and your grandchildren will suffer devastating changes in our global environment. Those are the facts.
I want to be clear, your children will face;
rising coastlines,
water shortages,
food shortages,
wars,
disease,
increasing deserts,
rising costs of basic supplies.
Your grandchildren may well face the possibility of being the last humans alive in the universe.
That is correct, we are now up against the possible extinction of human beings.
Unless we were to stop using oil to power our cars, factories, heating and cooling our homes, etc. these events WILL occur!
Again, we can reduce our consumption, let’s assume that we reduce each persons consumption to one half of what we use now. That would be great. If we did THAT immediately, we might reduce the effects of global warming such that we only have about 20 years of bad things happening to our planet, instead of thousands of years.
Unfortunately there is a problem with that.
Which brings us to YOU! Yes YOU, females.
The world population is increasing, in about 50 years, if people keep having babies the way we are now, we will double the world population. Instead of 6.6 billion, there will be about 13 billion.
What does that mean? It means that even if every single person on our planet changed our behavior to reduce emission of climate changing pollution immediately, in less than fifty years we will be exactly where we are right now. That would be the end. We could work it right now, and through some very hard times, in about 50 years the children of your children’s children would be facing extinction.
YOU must stop having babies! I wish I could be kind about this, but this is no longer a gentle world. The only possible way to stave off the extinction of our species is to reduce our population. PERIOD.
If we maintain our present population human extinction is likely within 100 years.
If we continue increasing our population, human extinction is likely within 50 years.
The ONLY chance the human race has of surviving is to reduce the effect we are having on our earth, and the only way to do that is to REDUCE our population.
You female types are the ONLY humans who CAN do that.
Good luck to you.
