DON’T BE AFRAID OF CLIMATE CHANGE

 

 

Our climate is changing.   We are past the point of going back.  One good thing about homo-sapiens is that we are adaptable.  When things become critical, we temporarily join together and adapt.

 

We shouldn’t worry about an asteroid strike either.   The world is not going to end similar to the dinosaur extinction.    Nations have the technology to destroy or divert such a catastrophe.    

 

Pestilence will not kill us all.   Medical science has the technology to produce vaccines and treatments that will allow the majority of us to survive.   Pestilence does, however, thin the heard of the weak and stupid.  We are seeing this happen now.  In this way it strengthens the races.

 

So, what do we have to worry about?   Is it likely we will face a massive extinction?

 

If we do it will be self-inflicted.   We have to fear our own nature and short-comings.

 

Russia has enough nuclear weapons to destroy all life on this earth.  The United States have even more, and more powerful nuclear weapons than Russia.   China has a large nuclear weapon stockpile.   North Korea possesses nuclear bombs.  India and Pakistan are nuclear armed nations.  The U.S. has undoubtedly armed Israel with nuclear capability.   Nuclear technology is no longer confined to a few, it is accessible to the world.  The ability and technology to destroy all living things on this earth exist today; and it is in the hands of a few humans.

Add to this, religious extremism.  Islamist who get dewy eyed at the thought of jihad – dying for a holy war.   Fundamentalist Christian groups fantasizing the end times.     And just plain crazy, unhinged people that get access to the nuclear codes.  (Trump asked Kelly; If we have nuclear weapons, why don’t we use them?)

 

It takes only one disturbed, deranged, irrational paranoid narcist to light the match. 

 

 Fuck it
