Why are so many of these comments so tl;dr.

woohoo!  Just a couple weeks until nuclear war...

yeah right

It's nice that appreciate nature, and I suggest you enjoy it while you can because we're way past the tipping point where we could have avoided a global warming catastrophe. In brief, the Western World (Europe, US, etc.) is much poorer than it appears and the East (Russia, China, etc.) is much richer than it appears. The West doesn't have the money to do anything meaningful to stop catastrophic change, we should all prepare for it. We may end up with a 500M population, but it won't be pretty.

life on earth is not at stake. human life on earth is. HUGE difference.

ehswan, do u have secret battles with the black swan
