The human race is probably destined for extinction.

wait.. what? why? there still will be resources and locations where humans can survive, not?

i dont think this is the end of the human race, but it surely is possible that he's right about seeing some enormous changes while everyone was pretending that we can still do something. only time can tell.


the question is, what will happen if masses of people want to move away from hostile areas while the places they want to move are already overcrowded? i expect some dirty stuff to happen there...

I read the article and as always there is absolutely nothing to fear or be concerned about.  The entire article is based on fear and helplessness.  If society is helpless it is because we have chosen to be.  We have the ability to control anything and everything that happens to us.  There are apparently quite a few people in society who still believe we have no control over what happens to us, that we are nothing more than helpless organisms wondering through life at the mercy of some "outside" force.  Regardless of all the facts and figures specified in the article, we still have the ability to consciously control whatever we wish to experience.  Numbers, facts, figures, and mathematical probabilities, equations, and certainties mean absolutely nothing in a Universe where there exists an infinite number of potentials that we could easily form into our experience if the majority of society would just get out of the slumber it has allowed to put itself into.  Even if we choke ourselves out of existence on this planet then that is what we have chosen to experience.  There is absolutely nothing right, wrong, good or bad about it.  Life goes on.  It always has and always will without exception.  It's just that we will cease to experience life on this planet if that is what we choose.  There are plenty other Earths.

Only two sides of the climate debate get covered by the media: corporate-backed pseudo-scientists who deny the greenhouse effect or claim that it's inconsequential, and liberal environmentalists pushing for the United States and other major air polluters to act to reduce carbon emissions.

Well there are 2 sides to everything aren't there?  The Law of Polarity applies to everything.  The entire Universe is holographic in nature, so everything that occurs at a macrocosmic level also occurs similarly at a microcosmic level.  Just as there are polar shifts within the planet so too are there polar shifts within the collective consciousness as well as individually, and then at a molecular level, and so on.  There are also polar shifts within the galaxy and beyond.  The transformation that is occurring on this planet appears to be dividing society into 2 defined groups, which are themselves polar opposites - those who focus on doom and gloom, and those who focus on peace and prosperity - the negative and the positive.  It seems to be becoming more apparent every day.  I'm not sure what this could mean if the shift between the two groups continue to increase.  Will the vibrational difference between the two become so great that they can no longer exist on the same plane?  It's certainly possible, but it's anybody's guess.  Nevertheless, predicting that possibility as well as any perceived "future" event is pointless and has no relevance to Now.  In other words the entire article as well as the concerns specified in the article is irrelevant.

Life is so much more enjoyable focusing on peace, Love, prosperity and happiness.

I also believe that humanity will *ALWAYS* exist... unless the Earth blows up or something.  LoL

That's really the entire point of the article.
We (well the people who have the power in our world) have *CHOSEN* to ignore everything up until this point.
I truly do believe that, at this point in time, we're 100% screwed. 
I do believe humanity will live in... as people will always survive.  Just the majority of us are toast.

Every time I look at this subject the song from Kansas comes to mind, and stays there.
