We'll probably doom ourselves off before that planet killing asteroid hits us, before the consequences of global warming are in full swing, before the super volcanoes erupts and surely before our sun supernovas.

The detonation of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons that now sit quietly, inconspicuously, in missile silos, submarines and long-range bombers, faithful servants awaiting orders would bring the end of the human species.

The World Health Organization concludes that 1.1 billion people would be killed outright in such a nuclear war, mainly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. An additional 1.1 billion people would suffer serious injurles and radiation sickness. This would represent by far the greatest disaster in the history of the human species and, with no other adverse effects, would probably be enough to reduce at least the Northern Hemisphere to a state of prolonged agony and barbarism.

The nuclear winter that Carl Sagan spoke about would eventually spread to the Southern Hemisphere, killing all plant and animal life, and eventually mankind.

Are nukes good, the MAD doctrine kept us out of a nuclear war for 60 years, but now with rogue states and rogue leaders, the fallacy of the MAD doctrine is apparent. The weapons of peace for the last 60 years have now been turned to weapons of war. Once again we are staring into the black abyss of a nuclear holocaust.

I think it is happening every day that we choose to change something from the days before it.

"....a chance reading of a book or of a paragraph in a newspaper, can start a man on a new track and make him renounce his old associations and seek new ones that are in sympathy with his new ideal; and the result for that man, can be an entire change of his way of life." Samuel Clemens, What is Man?

I think people need to realize that this is an everyday struggle. Today is here. Now. Learn from yesterday and plan for the future....but what are you going to change today?

It's always ending and always starting something new. Pluto was just demoted, Ceres just promoted so things are always changing. But it doesn't mean that things are bad or "over" just changing.

Some say that we'll have MAJOR, MAJOR, M A J O R shifts (for the good) in 2012 - the Age of Aquarius.

In about 4-5 billion years, when the Sun enters its red giant phase. Unless of course a giant asteroid smashes it to pieces before then.

It is happening now with global warming, habitat destruction, lack of biological diversity, the destruction of the Amazon, factory farming, unsustainable business practices, pollution, overfishing, clearcutting etc. It is "gradual" now, I think people aren't recognizing it because it is gradual and not an all out nuclear war.
