Could Global Warming be the Savior of Humanity?

What American agency is fully trustworthy? As trusty as any typical American I suppose. ~ BG |

Special interest groups/cabals still have way too much authority and not neatly enough truth. Global electronic robo-trading itself is sucking out billions per day. ~ BG ~ BG |

Could Global Warming be the Savior of Humanity?

"If they exist. In 20,000 years there may be only a few hundred thousand people alive. They won't have iron, nor steel, nor fossil fuels." Won't need fossil fuels. In 20,000 years we will have discovered new sources of energy. But why wouldn't we have any iron or steel? Would we have shipped it all off-planet? I suspect that in just a couple of hundred years, we will not only have a lot of iron and steel, from re-using what iron and steel we have now, but also we will be mining the asteroids. Lots of iron available. You worry too much....but then that's no surprise..after all ...you are an Alarmist. |

(NOT ice age... as we are technically still in one) Warmer is better. We've had many periods on Earth with no ice caps or glaciers at all. Forests up near the poles... Alligators on Ellesmere Island. When another Glacial Period happens... it will be goodbye to a lot of cities bulldozed flat by mile high ice sheets. Famine.... mass starvation on a scale never before seen. So many dead there won't be enough people alive to bury them all. That's what will happen when the ice returns.. Warmer is better... |

Lots of room for people in Greenland, northern Canada or the same goes for the vast bulk of Russia. All that's needed is cheap and reliable energy that's as clean and failsafe as thorium. ~ BG |
