Quoted:
Ok, they said "Global Warming" and that's when I quit taking them even remotely seriously. It was says "extreme" in front of it. As in, if we have extreme global warming (+8C), then in 1000 years, this is what would happen. Similarly there is an entry for "all buildings collapse" in 1000 years. Referring to if a disaster occurs, modern buildings would not survive 1000 years of no people. It's a hypothetical. |

Quoted: Ah, a future where mankind's folly eradicates most signs of civilization...while simultaneously celebrating the longevity of Macbooks. A Liberal Masturbatory Fantasy, captured in a diagram. Neato. I expected that a lot of people would stop there, but I'm surprised that you did. There's a lot of predictions there that have nothing to do with any political agenda.

Our current history on this earth is about 10,000 years old at best, on a planet that is 4.5 to 6.5 Billion years old. Something that will occur even 10,000 years from now will not matter as by then the human race will have most likely passed into extinction. The cockroaches, alligators, sharks and bunny rabbits won't care either.

Quoted:
"29% of CO2 released before 2100 is still here" I'd say more like 100% of CO2 release will still be here. Maybe 99% if you include satellites and space travel. Referring to atmosphere, most likely. CO2 can become trapped and removed from the atmosphere through natural processes. |
