I fear that the human race may be gone in the next 100 years or later. I hope it does not happen in my life time.

I doubt we'll die off in the next 100 years.

Our planet is now f**ked  :o

Terraform the earth?

Hack the planet.

I'm just saying, they always talk about doing this on other worlds. Why can't we have atmospheric processors? At the very least we should start here.

Saw this a few months ago when it first breached 400ppm. Good luck future generations, if your stuck on Earth and in a coastal city, you have my sympathies.

Regardless of the truly horrific news, I will still do my part with using recyclable bags and trying to make a effort in other ways.

The atmospheric processors would be powered by natural gas, engineered by Apple and researched by Google. All the parts would be shipped by Amazon too. Where I was going with that, I don't know.

It's not too late. It's just too late for too many. The sea level rise isn't even the issue. It's the fact that the ocean can't absorb anymore carbon. Scientist know that it's already happened but it's something that the effects of won't been seen for decades. The irony is that it wasn't as if we could have done anything to stop it. Still there is hope. We just have to accelerate our engineering know how and say good bye to the old way of life.

Our population is too big. 7 billion is too much, I don't think the Earth was made to have a human population on every part of the world. If we only had at least 200 million or 300 million people in the world, maybe our Earth would be a lot cleaner and safer.

The world would get on pretty well even with 7 billion people if we left large uninterrupted areas of wilderness unmolested, produced our crops with hydroponics, priced the most land/water-intensive foods out of mass availability, took a harder stance against disrupting keystone species, and ran on renewable energy.

All of those are possible, but depend on international government measures that have varying likelihoods of ever happening.

The world will definitely be transitioning to renewables over the next century, we should reach a majority of it in the first world over the next decade or two. That's the easy part, because we're reaching a point where renewables are at cost parity with other forms of power. The other aspects are much trickier, being more disruptive, with requirements and mindset problems that we've barely begun to tackle.

Even if that is true, all of it is was probably funded by petroleum sales. Hell their economy is heavily supported by oil production. :P

BBC presenter Jon Holmes of Radio 4 sacked because he's a white male?!

This has in turn opened up stories from other BBC workers who claim the same thing! Not surprising though when watch the BBC.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/oct/02/bbc-presenter-jon-holmes-the-now-show-sacked


Ofcom chief (unsurprisingly a black female) says broadcasters will face tougher penalties if diversity is not improved.

https://www.theguardian.com/media/2016/sep/27/tv-industry-diversity-ofcom-sharon-white-bbc

This is exactly the kind of reverse situation we are seeing today, 'positive discrimination' (affirmative action for the Americans). The complete enforcement of diversity over hiring people who are actually qualified. In other words you have a much higher chance of getting a job if you're female or a person of colour.

Proof for all you doubters right here in black and white, in a British liberal newspaper article.
