Climate change, solar storms, magnetic pole reversal... all the fun things that will make people focus on survival vs. consumerism.

I hope i'm frolicking in the elysian fields long before all that stuff happens.
You very well may be, but chances are I'll witness some of it as an old man. s**t's about to get very real, very fast.
Elon Musk figures we have less than 100 years to launch fleets of ships off the planet to colonize other planets. I've heard that others figure we only have a couple of good decades left before things start to get dicey in terms of temperature & fresh water etc.

Or more global efforts to keep this planet in livable condition might be beneficial. Colonizing other planets might be cool...but its not a solution to human caused problems on this planet. We need to quit being so selfish and preserve this planet to. Us humans aren't the only life inhabiting this planet...we have no right to just trash this planet and then move on to the next one.
This is true & the bigger effort people make the longer we'll all get to survive here.
Guess what was spotted in BC waters last year? A swordfish. First time ever. And a loggerhead turtle, 2nd time on record iirc. The oceans are warming.. things are changing fast. We can slow the progress if we all stopped burning fossil fuels etc.. but it really does look like we've gone passed the tipping point.

Wondering why the mods let you post such an offensive sig photo.

My guess is that it's a reference to Schultz, a favorite character of his on Hogan's Heroes.
