A great and terrifying overview of the multiple catastrophes crashing into the oceans and onto those who live near it and depend on it.

Watch it and weep.

Why has Peakoil been overtaken by the faithful, the religious zealots of doom, death and destruction?

This place has become a cult.

Would you rather have us concentrate on the presence of ancient extraterrestrial aliens?

We will all be dead and gone by then and if not, Que Sera Sera

Don't let this moron drift another very pertinent thread. Ignore him. No amount of reasoning works with this fellow.

For whatever reason I don't fully understand that video got to me in ways no others have.

I posted a link on another forum about sailing and received one very positive thank you for doing so. Which is sad because it's kinda like hearing you have terminal cancer. I should not be thanked for telling someone such bad news.

One of his comments that hit me was when he says "this isn't news." Well, he is right, plenty is known. I just came from a party of left leaning professional folks. Lots of talks about trendy movies and books, some on medical insurance, etc. all the " right" things to cluck your tongues over. No mention of the environment. None.

It was meant to be a criticism of our reason and lack of foresight.

JJ is really doomtastic. I think he probably held himself back with his cynicism though. Have you ever been at a party with a few drinks and gone off on a doom rant and had everyone gawking in horror ? I can imagine him being very good at that, with footnotes.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('careinke', 'I') hold no hope of government saving us. Therefore, the only ethical decision is to take full responsibility for ourselves, and our (hopefully) diminished number of children. Hopefully, some of us will make it through the upcoming bottleneck.

Depressing shit.

Cull the herd?

Harvest the herd, harvest their souls?

This is happening NOW.

I just finished watching this. Though I already knew much of it, it was still pretty depressing

[rollin]

All the time that the human race was told we were making progress (Euro point of view, not the rest of the world) was just a word for ultimate destruction. I think we need to redefine the word progress.

[clif]

Most indigenous peoples probably define progress much different then the modern day Euro-central meme of progress is defined.

The indigenous peoples of North and South America were much better at protecting the environment and handing a sustainable world to their descendants than the Europeans ever have been. Partly why the Europeans had to branch out to enlarge their planet scorching economic/political schemes, because Europe wasn't large enough by the 15th century for all of it to fit in.

But then again the natives of North and South America didn't rely on an invisible sky fairy to save their asses in the end.
