POLL i believe the world will cease to be able to support most life (other than some v adaptable species) :POLL

Might even possibly be this century %

Could happen within 500 years %

Will not happen until the world is much more advanced and then by some meteor %

We will find ways to fix the problems %

What the **** are you going on about? %

I go with the last option. What’s this all about in layman’s terms??

I’d give it roughly 100 to 200 years left given climate change.

I think I read somewhere that we have 12 more years to fight climate change before we do irreparable damage to the earth.

edit: here we go

The thing that hits me the most is the bees

if all bees die out, humans have 4 years to extinction

The way I look at it is this… every animal species eventually goes extinct. The lucky ones evolve into something else. The dinosaurs evolved into birds. The dinosaurs are gone because they could not cope and adapt to the changing world around them but birds are still here. If we’re lucky, we will evolve into something else and whatever that is will carry on after we go extinct. But yes, humans will eventually go extinct at some point. It happens to all animal species eventually. The only exceptions seem to be some very old reptile species like crocodiles and certain lizards, and some sharks.

yeah, all true but nothing takes away from the apocalypse event over the next century or two…

really thought about this and change? that much? on every individual level?

petrol,
plastic,
hormones
floods storms fire
going to stereotype but what are poor areas doing with their waste?
chucking it all in the nearest river including empty sachets of treatment conditioner or anti ageing cream bought in a largely western aspiring world
no one comes by to put it all in landfill
just recycling is not going to help

I have always thought if we managed outer space navigation/habitation before we blow up the planet maybe we will not go extinct until the universe blows up or something . Then we would live on.

I love the idea of that, but we would need a warp drive, something out of Star Trek, to make that happen. We would need something that let us travel safely and quickly HUGE distances to reach distant habitable planets intact. And then once we got there, we would have to be able to survive their viruses, bacteria, and their predatory animals. It is possible, but it is not very likely.

But going extinct is nothing to be sad about. We played our part in the history of animal life on the planet, and we will make way for hopefully something else that might do something better than what we have done with the planet.

played our part? nothing so vague

caused extinction of massive parts of the world leaving the planet almost uninhabitable
within maybe - what is it ? 2 - 3 hundred years

I believe we have a role. Maybe someone can learn from us on what not to do next time :joy:

Does it matter? When there is a god we don’t have anything to worry about. When there isn’t a god we don’t have anything to worry about.

This is exactly how I feel!! Haha :laughing:. When I was trying to explain my recent feelings in a thread earlier, well this would explain my position pretty well :ok_hand:

My illness tells me over and over there is life but not as we know it.

I guess my comment wasn’t approved

sorry it didn’t work out

it’s all truth though.

The earth will always be able to support life. Science will solve all of our problems. And maybe one day we will find alien technology that will advance us by thousands of years.

I have no idea. Science says we’re in huge trouble. Somehow life always continues. How does that look? I have no idea.

Sun is supposed to die in billion years or so I forgot the number but billions. I think the earth will die before the sun.
