Don't Panic: Earth's Nine Threats to Humanity

Very good presentation. I was not aware of Nitrogen dead zones, or Ocean acidity. "Alkalinity has declined 30 percent since the industrial age began. The change is a particular threat to sensitive corals, like those found in Australia's Great Barrier Reef."

I don't know about the Conservatives harping that Global Warming is a tax scam. I think it's a legit. That is some scary information. I think people are just thinking "If I can't see it, it must not be real" and searching for data to prove the alternative.

But the environment is clearly dying, and we will die with it. I think people imagine we can just live off our industrial food chain, eating mass-produced cattle and GMO foods. But I think when the water is contaminated and sacred, and the crops have difficulty adapting to the rapid changes in the environment, our life span will decrease greatly.

What do?
