Are you afraid of the future?

Question

Our resources are running out...
The population is ever growing, leaving less and less for everyone to eat...
The air and water are becoming ever more poluted...

Answer 1

We can embrace the challenges of the future, or we can shrink from them. I do what I can on a personal level, try to share what I know, and make sure my elected officials know how I feel and I vote every election because it's a privilege to do so. Air and water quality have improved in some areas, degraded in others, and there's no telling when the world population will peak, but I suspect it's going to begin to level out by 2015. I'm a "glass is half full" kind of person, as the pessimist has less incentive to act, in my opinion.

I'm not afraid. I'm doing what I can to help my children, now young adults, put their best foot forward in life. I'm embracing life with my young grandson, who is bright and full of life, and I'm enjoying seeing life through the eyes of a young child again. It rocks, and so does life.

Answer 2

the future is the time I will die, so I'm afraid of the future.
I do not think the future should frighten us because we will run out of resources or earth becomes over crowded.
We have the technology to produce a lot more, to live comfortably in much more crowded places.
what we don't have is tolerance for each other, and if we could learn from history, we can see that it was almost always people who destroyed great civilizations, and not lack of resources.
My guess is, if the world will reach another major catastrophe, it will be from wars over religion, way of life and such that will cause the greatest destruction.

Answer 3

Abundance always has been, always will be. We change we adapt. We will be driving petroleum free cars within 20 yrs. The earth tends towards balance. When the industrial revolution occurred, Europe's big cities were covered in toxic soot and they thought it could never be cleaned. And now, cleaner than ever. The earth will never cease. The human race will never cease. We are constantly adapting and evolving. We will get through this as well.

Answer 4

And the ice caps have not melted till now? worldwide Warming and ten years in the past they advised us we are going right into a ice age. What diminishing components are you speaking approximately? foodstuff scarcity, the place, we use corn for gasoline, so we could have a abundance of foodstuff! i'm afraid Al Gore and his followers are going to truly screw our little ones over, And poverty-bothered is only commencing to ensue, Its right here.

Answer 7

No way! we are on the verge of controling earths temp. While we have big problems. Here is what we know: Blacktop (roads and parking lots) and buildings heat cities; Air pollution causes lung (And other) diseases, deforestation (causing more destruction -duststorms, hurricanes/cyclones all increasing deforestation) and destroys the ozone layer while heating earth surface; fires cause mud slides, deforestation and pollution-more heating surface temperatures; CFC's destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates and killing off endanger species and increased surface temperatures; lighting produces ozone near the surface and raises air pollution levels-more heating, the suns increased magnetic field are causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow), sun spots and more heating. Cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production causes pollution, warmer temperatures and destruction...But most of this is in our control outside of the sun (Volcanoes and earthquakes are part of the sun magnetic strength): We need to fix it! That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org an geoengineering web sight.
