Stanford Scientists Warn That Civilization as We Know It Will End in \"Next Few Decades\"...

[Fred Bloggs]

Okay- so some time around 2043. My guess is it will be a Saturday afternoon in the fall around 12:30-2:00 PM.

\"Humanity is very busily sitting on a limb that we\'re sawing off.\"- that\'s about the right gauge of the collective IQ of the naked apes.

Yay, I can skip the Saturday morning Safeway run.

Yes, and New York City is underwater. All the birds are dead. And
famine has already wiped out humanity.

The big irony is that Ehrlich is still alive to keep predicting our extinction.
\"The Population Bomb\" was published in 1968. The Club of Rome\'s \"Limits to Growth\" was published in 1972. Both are based on primitive population models run on primitive computers.

When twits like John Larkin want to be rude about population modelling, they go for ancient examples that didn\'t do the job very well.

There are real problems on the horizon that the twits prefer to ignore, and they don\'t seem to mind looking stupid when they do it.

And the population crash that would follow the widespread collapse of agriculture would be large, but it wouldn\'t be an extinction - the world could still support a few million hunter-gatherers as it did during the most recent ice age.

They\'re not predicting the end of mankind, they\'re predicting the end of civilization \"as we know it.\"

That\'s probably what John Larkin read, but he reads about as carefully as Flyguy, and it certainly isn\'t what he wrote.

In some senses, civilisation as I\'d known it ended with the invention of the internet. My initial impressions of the influence of the internet were favourable, but fact that it made a whole lot of information accessible to people who didn\'t know how to sort the wheat from the chaff is now making me see it as something of mixed blessing.

We should be able to work out how to make the John Larkin\'s of this world a little more careful about what they believe and repost, but it may take a while, and we may not have enough time left to do it.
