Do you think mankind will come to an end anytime soon?

[screien]

tell me what may cause mankind to end and will it be because of our selfish behavior?

[emmie]

Perhaps not soon, but i can't see man surviving, food, water and space is going to be problematic. Too many people with too little resources. Many countries have nuclear capabilities, and it wouldn't take a second to blow us all to pieces. Unless we can find another planet that is liveable, and there isn't so far, maybe in the future, who knows.

Are you mental?

[emmie]

mental, what for suggesting that man is his worse own enemy.

[DTCwordfan]

And wait to the women turn government into a matrarchial society and all will be solved...

must go and put my stockings on ready for that event.

[emmie]

man being mankind, and why should women take over, when men have been making such a good job of things.

Humans are intelligent, adaptive and resourceful, how long has the sun been predicted to burn before losing mass and expanding?
I believe that an unfortunate species of whatever humans evolved into will be fried to a crisp.
No happy ending. sorry

According to any number of scientists, including Professor Brian Cox, with regards to the sun, it will around a billion years, not that will affect you and i as we won't be here at any rate.
Scriene asked a question, and i gave my opinion. China has a population of over a billion, how many in India, developing countries populations are growing all the time. UK alone has going on 70 million, so how do you propose to feed everyone. Water is a commodity that is already in short supply. People have evolved, got bigger, stronger, and to some extent adapted, but that doesn't mean we have learned to get along, just look at the world we live in, endless wars, and one day, perhaps not tomorrow or 100 years from now, someone could well do the unthinkable.

The start of the next ice age will probably see any veneer of civilization stripped away. The powerful countries, USA, China, and Russia will invade their southern neighbours. The need for lebensraum will set us all on the path to destruction.

[emmie]

sandyroe, confess i had to look up lebensraum, but you could be right. I was reading a report report recently about Yellowstone National park, and the volcano, and confess that sent shivers down my spine. So it could be a natural disaster, the space race is over, for the foreseeable future, so where are we to go. ?

350000 years to Jellystone going up - dont think you or even your g^10 grandchildren will be alive

[DTCwordfan]

there is likely, far more likely, to be an ice age beforehand.

[emmie]

better get my winter woolies out of storage then.
