RE: biodiversity loss, climate change and peak oil -related threats
Yep, it has been getting closer and closer every day sine 1974 when I first hear most of these arguments
If energy meltdown does not get us then global warming will, or plague or over population or some fool thing someone invents to guarantee their research grant.
Global warming was not even a concept until the early 1990s and according to the predictions of that time both London and New York should be under 200 feet of water.
If you are really that worried about the energy situation the do your part. Turn off your lights, heat, air conditioning and the fridge. Park your car and refuse to support the oil industry. Grow all your own food so transport of the merchandise will not consume fuel, grow your own wool spin your own thread and weave your own fabric.
The U.S has 400 years of fuel reserves at the present rate of use. The water has not risen one inch in the past 40 years, the warming trend was documented as having stopped 10 years ago.
As for the population explosion, just stop giving tax breaks for dependent children and tax by family size. Stop sending food to third world nations and let nature take its course, along with the mass migrations, food wars and genocide campaigns.
When you look at it like that it just seems like SHTF is the continuation of world history as it has always been, not some mysterious force no one has seen before.
