Thread was broken so had to recreate it

In the style of James Burke's Connections series, it is truly excellent. Set in the future, it looks back at the history of Global Warming. Don't let it's age fool you, Burke had it right long before Gore, if perhaps a bit too optimistic.

After the Warming

I just saw a commercial just like in the documentary. Reality has just caught up.

James Burke Connections #1

Technology traps and the collapse of complex technological networks.

I am glad that I have no children. I would be sick to death at the world they will have to face.

[bluekachina]

Is this your first grandchild? What a wake up call. Even if you are not sure, surely you would err on the side of caution from now on.

[Cid_Yama]

Congrats, cbxer55.

I also have no children, thus no grandchildren. I count myself fortunate for this. I chose not to have children back in my day, because I didn't want to bring them into a world facing nuclear annihilation at any moment.

Thank God. Teach your grandchild whatever you can to enhance her survival. Good luck.

They apparently have done a remake. If anyone knows if it is available on the internet, please let us know.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')rmstrong's film, called The Age of Stupid, is getting the world's largest ever official premiere, with the whole evening being beamed by satellite direct to 65 cinemas. And because climate change affects everyone, too, it is being billed as "the people's premiere"

There they will see a docu-drama set in Nigeria, Iraq and elsewhere starring Pete Postlethwaite - the man Stephen Spielberg called the best actor in the world - playing an old man looking back from a climate-changed future world to documentary footage shot in 2008.

The children born today will make up the generation which will be adjusted to post collapse better than any of us here can.

Yes some will not do well.

But you get used to what you grow up with.

Many currently healthy rich people will be jumping from bridges while these kids learn how to play with ants& stuff. They will not understand why Mom& Dad are so freaked out.

It will be worse for the ones who are in the current crop, who are just about to get their wings. The youth will be shattered by the destruction of their dreams.

In Earth Abides, by the third generation post-apocalypse, the population were reduced to superstitious aboriginals. (pablonite's just got a head start.)

This is one of my all time favorite books.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'E')arth Abides, a 1949 post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Berkeley English professor George R. Stewart, tells the story of the fall of civilization from deadly disease and its rebirth. Beginning in the United States in the 1940s, it deals with Isherwood Williams, Emma, and the community they founded. The survivors live off the remains of the old world, while learning to adapt to the new. Along the way they are forced to make tough decisions and choose what kind of civilization they will rebuild.

Having 3 children is an understandable reason for being in denial.

China will likely start buying up vast tracts of prime agricultural land in the US (and perhaps UK?) as they are doing now in Africa, in lieu of repayment of our enormous debt. Of course, any kind of ag will be more and more difficult to engage in as the climate gets more and more chaotic.
