The world is dying, its already over populated, every day you find stories of different parts of the planet in a some kind of distress. The salt marshes on the upper east coast, the galciers melting in europe, parts of forrest in various places in the USof A dying out or being mutilated by human meddling, the rainforests all over the world being cut down by greed for temporary wealth. and of course air pollution.
There is more and more starving people in the world now, than there were two years ago.
We're running out of expendable energy sources.
Modern civilization is generating more waste and garbage than ever before, and there is no more places to hide it.
On top of that, there is more civil unrest in our cities, there is more strife between cultures, people are more insular than ever before, the only thing that keeps us from ending it all, is our fears and our denial.
How much time do we really have left? fifty, a hundred years at best?
