The Earth will “Expire” by 2050, and the leader of our country doesn’t seem to care. After all, why should he? By 2050 he (most likely) won’t be alive so it really has no effect on him, does it?
The article talks about colonizing other planets by 2050 as the only other option if we refuse to stop consuming so much, but continues to say that colonization will probably not even be an option by 2050. If it were, my guess is the amount of resources per person needed to support life on the journey to the planet to be colonized is just as much, if not more, than the amount needed for them to survive the same amount of time on Earth anyway.
Of course, if we have developed Star Trek-like replicators, we would be able to go easy on our resources in space. In fact, if we have replicators we might as well just stay on Earth. Apparently replicators won’t exist until the early 24th century. But I digress…
Huh….I actually know someone from Burundi….
Ummm, anyway, once again, this problem could be solved by allowing me to thin out the heard of human beings. There are so many useless people out there……..
