But with empires desperate to maintain control against nature, nuclear weapons come into play. I still see bombs as the greatest threat to humanity, but its a tight race in desperate times.Comrade Hermit (Nicky Reid)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15143429283240217518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-5256115461782070402018-07-29T22:19:58.355-07:002018-07-29T22:19:58.355-07:00https://theviolentink.blog/2018/07/17/the-thief-of...https://theviolentink.blog/2018/07/17/the-thief-of-bagdad-trumpand-the-legacy-of-bushs-folly/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672712238697848913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5903948190815094163.post-71647738357926037562018-07-29T21:44:53.619-07:002018-07-29T21:44:53.619-07:00I wonder how the midterms will go and whether Trum...I wonder how the midterms will go and whether Trump will get re-elected. I think many places in the world are going through a sort of identity crisis at the moment. TBH if the US collapses by the end of the century I wouldn't be super surprised. While these issues are quite salient for many people, climate change is an issue that will affect all regardless. I'm not sure what exactly will happen but I think it will get worse before it (if ever) gets better. Not just for the US but the world. <br /><br />All the answers I can think of aren't really feasible with our current population numbers. Still, I think a lot of those doom and gloom articles you see are bougie hot takes. Like climate change will shit on middle class luxury more than it will average people all over the world standard-of-living wise. The talk about birthrates is funny since it's not the people in poorer countries with more kids that have the big carbon footprints. Not to mention, people aren't having more kids (birthrates are going down worldwide including poorer countries), it's just that more kids are surviving into adulthood that's causing the population increases in the developing world. Luxury items will become more expensive and probably not be worth mass producing anymore (from chocolate and fruits to big cars and cross country flights for work). Things will be more localized and we will live life like we did 100 years ago. Like we will be forced to eat less meat, grow our own food, and make less money. The problem is, will mass death occur before this happens? We will be seeing climate refugees like never before, as more regions of the world (regions which are densely populated) become uninhabitable. South Asia comes to mind as a real loser in this game, especially because in addition to its climate, its geography makes escaping by foot difficult<br /><br />While we do have resources to feed everyone with current tech, the question is whether we would with only pre-industrial tech. I say so since a lot of climate woes are due to industrial agriculture.<br /><br />Europe is already lurching right with barely any refugees relative to the total population, imagine what will happen as climate change really kicks in. Children of Men really isn't beyond possibility. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672712238697848913noreply@blogger.com
