In the past few months, some small asteroids have strolled through our neighborhood. If one hits the U.S., it will somehow become another political issue as we try to deal with the damage.
Trumper at work is wearing a t-shirt today. Printed on it is “Proudly (syringe) Unpoisoned”. I love when they wear thier ignorance on their sleeve, err shirt.
Imagine the terror one must feel being a member of a faction of the world’s population that is moving from majority to minority status. Desperation and fear of becoming the scapegoat when things go wrong, having to learn new skills and compete for power and control instead of inheriting it by accident of birth into the majority faction, are motivating the shrinking faction to lie/cheat/steal and commit senseless violence … arming themselves with guns/hatred rather than knowledge/compassion. How much longer can the shrinking minority hang on to [minority] power/control as their ability to disenfranchise those they do not like — who is now becoming the new majority — becomes ever more obvious, unjust, and futile?
Science/technology will reach its limits and will no longer be able to feed the multitudes. Massive starvation will lead to massive turmoil, the survivors will no longer have access to affluence and will wither to isolated band of scavengers. Long term, life will revert back to what it was like in America.. Australia.. Pacific Islands, before “civilization/religion” from the white-man came along.
Climate change is slower than the change that asteroid brought to the dinosaurs, but probably even more effective in extinction rates. An article in a recent issue of Nature shows the effect of the excessive rainfall on economic production. Add to that the effect if the wide ranging forest fires, and you have a disaster in the making for human civilizations. This is a global problem, not just a white man’s problem.

It seems like that from inside, but I expect that from 2025 it will look more like an IQ test and by 2050 it’ll be a footnote.

Q-publicans prove that dinosaurs still walk the Earth.

And the ignorant still react the same to science.

No one living in America should complain about freedom!
Go to another country, and live, and let me know how that works out for you!
Whiners and obstinate people and inflated egos, and their stubbornness and ignorance is on them!
Grow up!

One can deny science all they want. But the consequences will catch up with them regardless.
