How can the Human Race survive the next 100 years?

Question

How can the Human Race survive the next 100 years?

Answer 1

As long as we continue to have babies that can themselves have babies, we'll be around in some form or another for quite a while.

That being said, the population will change drastically if polar ice caps melt, water supplies are contaminated, crops fail due to climactic change.  So our civilization may not survive, but we as a species will.

Answer 2

I disagree with DT.  I think it would be fairly easy to destroy the human race in 100 years.  Just remove all the safety labels and allow nature to run its course.

Answer 3

It is virtually inconceivable that the human race will be distroyed in a thousand years, let alone a hundred years.  You have probably been listening to hysterical environmentalists that need crisis to get attention.

Answer 4

We have so many issues that need to be addressed. Global

warming,terrorism, economic collapse and the possibility of running out of fossil fuels before a viable alternative can be found. Of all of these problems, I think running out of fuel would have the most devastating affect on the ability for the world to survive. Global warming could take thousands of years to cause a global climate shift, as bad as that might be I don't consider it an immediate threat. The world has endured economic collapse in the past and have always recovered. Terrorism and wars have been around since the dawn of civilization. Finding a viable, efficient and hopefully renewable energy source is the human races  best hope of ensuring it's survival in the next 100 years and beyond.

Answer 5

Actually, this is a serious question.

Good show !

Answer 6

Eat.  Drink. Sleep. Reproduce...  Repeat.

Answer 7

It would actually be difficult to destroy the human race in a mere 100 years, short of a global atomic war.

Think about it. There are over 6 billion human beings on the planet, the most ever, and thousands more are added to that total every day.

Humans live (permanently) on 6 continents, in conditions ranging from hot desert to frigid arctic, on mountains and below sea level.

The real question is, can the Earth continue to handle us? The seas are dying, from whales to dolphins to many species of fish. Most land-based megafauna is on the verge of extinction. The rain forest is being chopped down to plant soybeans and sugar cane. Higher primates like gorillas and chimpanzees are being slaughtered for bushmeat by rampaging armies in Africa, as their habitat is destroyed to slash-and-burn subsistence farming and desertification.

I weep for the future. But humans will still be here in 100 years, no doubt.
