near term extinction

[JCricket]

Hey Folks,
I have been reading A LOT on global warming, feedback loops, CO2 measurements, and methane plumes. I am convinced that life on this planet will end in the next 35 years. I am sorry to be a doomsdayer, but I thought you folks might wan to really take some time to read up on this stuff.

Look up Guy McPherson, Nature bats last, and so on. I know that as of today, I am going to start rearranging my priorities and my activities.


I wish you all the best, and remember, we still have today and each other.

I'll be dead by then.

Judging by my family genetics, 35 more years might be stretching it a bit
but is doable.

Looking back at the last 35 years what are the most dramatic changes?...cell phones!

I do not think there will be anything spectacular for the next 35. I doubt the
new pills will have less side effects.

Oh shit the terrorists might become more efficient.

Hopefully, after seeing the hellish existence my parents had much past 80, I will be as well.

I'm 67.

My plan is to live 43 more years and then be shot to death by a jealous husband at the age of 110.

I'd rather die in the saddle and leave her husband out of it.

35 years is all life folks. Humans will likely be gone 10-15 years sooner. I think we have about 20 years left. Maybe, if we are really lucky, we'll get 40, but doubtful. Also, it could be much sooner, depending on the change in the jet stream and the methane plumes that could occur. We could see DRASTIC changes in 10 years. Naysayers(or those of us who believe in error) will know for sure in about 5-7.

Look up the "bulb effect".

You're one of those rare few that can get the best of me Potter.
