I don't. I'm not egotistical enough to think the world will collapse or that if it did I'd have any ability to survive it.
If there is a mass die off then I'm dying too.
You don't have to be egotistical to think it will collapse. Just follow the data.
Thinking you'll survive though, I agree with you. We're both headed for the burn pits.
what data is that? the data that shows human civilization has grown and expanded almost non-stop for the past 10,000 years? despite all the setbacks it has had?
I mean the data showing that none of those "setbacks" were from a change in climate that will be more severe and orders of magnitude shorter in timeframe than the worst mass extinction in the fossil record, the Permian extinction, where 95% of sea life and 75% of land life went extinct. That's not talking about the biomass that died, but the number species.
I'm talking about a "setback" that has a high likelihood of just scalping us as a species and leaving us for dead. Maybe we will make it through but it will be akin to the bottleneck in our species around 70,000years ago when we dropped to about a thousand breeding pairs.
Shits on fire, yo.
