my friend's sister read a book on psychics and she says that she predicts that within the next 100 years, the world wil be raining acid rain.
and there will be tsunami's every day everywhere

and people will have to live in domes because oxygen will run out.
and you cant go outside because the ozone layer is so broken.
and if you go outside, your skin burns from the uv rays.

and she also says that this problem will never get fixed ever again. she also says that some of this is gonna happen while we are still alive. and our children will get affected by this. people won't be able to go to school or anything. she also said that we're so pollutant that acid rain is already happening. & our only solution to the future will be living in domes with oxygen.

please tell me if this is true or not?
i'm so freaked out and scared right now.
what are you opinions on it?
my friend's sister is POSITIVE that this is going to happen.

Whether conditions ever get that bad or not, humans would all be dead. Nobody could survive in those conditions. We don't have the technology to live in domes. The biodome experiment they did a while back could not sustain itself without bringing in supplies from the outside, no matter how hard they tried. Even if we could live in domes, we couldn't go outside to get that terrible sunburn if there is no oxygen.

We do already have acid rain because of pollution, and it does cause problems for forests and farms and things. However it hardly matters if we have acid rain if there is no oxygen - there wouldn't be any plants anyway.

It is highly likely that we will experience some climate change within our lifetime. In fact, weather patterns are already starting to change. Some places are getting cooler, warmer, wetter, or drier than they used to be. The sooner we reduce our CO2 emissions, the smaller the change will be. Climate change is definetly real. However, it will not be anything like your friend's sister says.

It is much better to look at this whole problem in a more positive light. Within our lifetime, many things about our cities and lives will have to change. We have the opportunity to shape the world we are going to live in. We will design and create different modes of transportation (like mass transit or electric cars). We will eat fresher, tastier food that was grown near where we live. We will use energy sources (like wind and solar) that don't cause pollution. We will have less respiratory problems (like asthma) because we will be breathing less pollution.

So, things will have to change, but change can be for the better.

I think your friend's sister is overreacting. It's true that we have seen holes in the ozone layer, and that we are polluting the atmosphere, but neither problem is anywhere near as catastrophic as she makes it out to be. As for oxygen running out, I never even heard that theory before.

it seems plausible, however i bet that in a 100 years from now we will find a solution for most of our modern day problems.... just look how far we have goten in that past 100 years!! I do promise you this, the sun will swallow us whole in about a billion years

well not that i don't believe in global climate change, because i do; but all that is a little extreme to happen withn 100 years.


to talk like that is your sister like 9 or 10 maybe?

There is no doubt about it that the weather patterns are changing.

But it's not going to be as bad as she thinks it will be.

Life will go on, we will make changes, some even will make things better.

Yes, and my brother says that the magnetic poles are reversing and that we should all get rid of all of our electronic devices because they give you cancer. OH, and DOGs will rule the world.
