Is our world really a safe place for future generations?

Question

To what point and purpose are we working so hard to create a future for our children if, the way we're going, that future might cease to exist? Our world isn't what it used to be and it isn't going to be the same either. How safe/dangerous is the environment getting? Is there no stop to it?

Answer 1

An Optimistic view

better start planning for a big party

here is my collection of ends of the humanity

many predictions are for the years between 2012 and 2020

Nostradamus,the mayas ,Egyptians Jesus ,

and Terrance Mckennas time wave who put the magnetic output of the world into a computor projection that stopped at zero in 2012,this means the globe has stopped and it starts turning

the other way ,the resulting change of currents will turn the planet into a giant washing machine cleaning the surface

then there are the meteors storms (armageddon) ,the gulf of Mexico is the result of one that would have made life exstinct for a while ,this would result in an other ice age because globe gets covered in dust for a few years,blocking out the sun.

then there are more posible natural disasters

Volcanos are coming to life everywhere

the weather has giant storms like hurricanes ,tornados ,tidal waves ,earth quackes

a shift of the earth crust ,would change the position of the poles

under Anrarctica were found fosilized tropical plants indication the pole must have been in a different place then (the mainland atlantis is thought to be under it )

Apart from that , the biggest threat to any species of exstinction is ,when there are too little ,and when there are too many ,so overpopulation is also a threat

and the USA appears to be gunning for a global nuclear conflict .it is most likely that this will get us first ,looking at present politics

the planet will probably survive unless humanities bombs result it to be knocked out of its orbit

so many ends to choose from

if it wasnt so serious it would be rediculous

meanwhile enjoy life .and make the most of it at least we are all in the same boat

Answer 2

It is not the environment u should be worried about ,it will do fine . There are some religious groups that want to kill u ,and have shown they will do it. That is what threatens your future .

Answer 3

You're right, the world isn't what it used to be. In most respects it's better. A child born today is statistically more likely to survive the first few critical years. He or she is statistically more likely to be better nourished, better educated, healthier and safer.
