We are headed for a human population crash from 7.5 Billion to 70 thousand or zero people some time between 2022 and 2040. We don’t have time for research or fooling around with renewables. Causes of a population crash: 1. Global Warming [GW] will cause civilization to collapse within 13 years give or take 6 years because GW will cause the rain to move and the rain move will force agriculture to collapse. Famine has been the cause of many dozens of previous population crashes. 2. Reference “Overshoot” by William Catton, 1980 and “Bottleneck: Humanity’s Impending Impasse” by William Catton,… Read more »
Thats a lot of stuff you put up here. Yes, population faces a bleak outcome, but to say this will happen within 13 years resembles pretty much a very bleak guessing. The thing is we heading toward a planet which is only capable to sustain so much population, because the bread baskets of the planet will be particular hard impacted by the shifting of climatic zones, or more unpredictable weather patterns. Call it climate chaos. On the other hand, humans are also good when it comes to survival, and you could always start to feed based on indoor grown foods.… Read more »
The number one problem COP21 has to deal with is COP6. How did this stuff get negotiated?

To recognize that Parties included in Annex I are to refrain from using emission reduction units generated from nuclear facilities to meet their commitments under Article 3.1. From another document I saw at this web site, 3. Poor countries are claiming a right… Read more »
The way to prevent poor countries from making CO2, is to eradicate poverty. Because what a hungry stomach does is he chops down the next tree and burns coal and oil.
