That is not true of Siberia. One side (China) has a clear interest in pressing their luck. The balance of military power will dramatically change in China's favor in the near future. Russia has a clear interest in hanging onto their territory, and China has a clear interest in taking it. This is why it's a much more likely flashpoint for a global conflict...if Russian leaders behave foolishly and/or Chinese leaders don't offer them a dignified way out.
Dont think there is a chance of this. But interesting point non the less.
How can we replace oil? Many ways. Solar power, wind power, coal, natural gas, nuclear power, etc.
Really? Do you know what oil is used for besides gazoline?
And what do you mean "start preparing ahead of time"? The world is already doing that. :roll:
Building a new society around different energy principles, with oil left for what we need oil for. Europe is most commited to this new direction of the big ones, while the US is least commited to these new principles.
I'm not going to argue this point with you. You are simply wrong, and a quick Google search will give you all the statistics you need to prove this. The global population is leveling off and will probably stabilize by mid-century at 9 to 12 billion people.
Did you even read yourself writing that? What is your definition of levelling of if you believe a population rise from 6.5 to up to the double in 40 years is "levelling of"???
The number of people worldwide without access to clean drinking water is consistently declining, and food production has been growing faster than the population has been growing for decades.
No the number of people without access to clean drinking water is increasing, and is predicted to reach disasterous global proportions by mid century.
Let me stop you right there. I don't know who "the predictions" came from, but any cursory look at the actual trends (as opposed to some ranting doomsayer who you found on some blog) reveals precisely the opposite.
I have NEVER read a single blog..
There may be more LOCALIZED water shortages, but overall the trend is for more people to have access to clean drinking water.
Which blogger told you that?
A) You are simply wrong, once again, about food demand not outstripping population growth. I'm not going to debate points with you where you are just factually incorrect, as opposed to merely holding a retarded opinion. Get the statistics for yourself before you spout off misinformation.
Personal attack reported.
How do you figure we get more land to cover the other 6 billion people who need food by 2075? We cant even feed the 6 billion we have now :doh
B) None of this other crap has anything to do with the possibility of a global war.
Of course it has, water and food are the next resources war will be made over. Especially likely is the water wars. China for exampe will have huge problems with water. Russia, US, Europe not.
Then people can fortify their city walls or move to more inhabitable places. Problem solved.
How do you figure we move half the human race? Living in a dreamworld again?
The only attempts at this time to stop the water are actually quite pathetic, but at the forefront of human engineering, in Venice.
The US should be familiar with the problem. How will you deal when dusins of large cities have the same problems as New Orleans constantly? The only country who have dealt with the water is the Netherlands, and they are slowly loosing the battle.
It will certainly be much easier to adapt/react to climate change than to try to prevent it.
Adapt/react is for idiots. We need to PREPARE. We need to prepare for a lot of things, and build a sustainable society that can work, and that works around good values, we simply really need to change for our children and our grandchildren to live in a world worth living in. But then again, some people dont care about others than themselves.
And at any rate, it's not going to cause any global wars. I would think that you'd be able to avoid your usual incoherent ramblings to stay on topic, given that this is your own thread. But I guess not.
Really? How about resource war? How about when a country like India have a desperate starving population and gigantic upheaval, riots and internal civil war. In a time where they have built a military power that is able to invade and take over other countries resources whom they really need, for example clean water or food to stop their own internal chaos.
How about that scenario in any of the countries in the world?
Thank you for proclaiming your own willful ignorance.
Personal attack number 2 noted. Its not very interesting to debate with people like yourself. Consider yourself on my ignore list from now on.
Have you ever been to a Chinese city? They're absolutely disgusting in terms of pollution. This will take decades to change.
Yes, it is. So are European and US cities. Not necessarily with heavy industry pollution, but with noise, disgusting stupid people, low quality infrastructure, bad building quality and so fourth.
Yes, the only thing "the US" spends money on is oil fields. There is not a single alternative energy investment anywhere in this country. :roll:
Do you actually believe the stupid **** you write, or are you like Scarecrow who just gets sexually aroused from trolling? I haven't decided.
You think thats what I said? I never said that, thats your own lack of ability to understand other people, who said that. Another reason you are now on my ignore list.
I don't know what you're talking about, but California is an environmental laggard by US standards, and is easily the most polluted state in the country.
What? Delusion..
Wow, you've managed to get quite off track. Normally I would've steered it back toward the topic, but since it's your own thread I'm certainly not going to bother refocusing the thread for you.
Yeah, since I am the one doing the personal attacks and have all the delusions mixed into the reality here, and not you :roll:
