A decade to save the planet. That’s the current call to arms. Targets are set, governments vow to do their bit and on a societal level we are encouraged to do ours by choosing to forego all things plastic. The question is whether this is the right decision or are we inadvertently at risk of doing more harm than good? Are there other factors in play needing equal consideration? The book will follow the story of plastic, and to an extent rubber (known collectively as polymers), and all with an eye to the overarching theme of the environment. It will ask some challenging questions but also sets out to inform. It begins by building a picture. Just what exactly is a plastic, how did it gain such a dominant role in our lives? Are recent denouncements fully justified? By better understanding plastics, a clearer opinion can be formed of their usefulness and their potential to alleviate serious environmental concerns.

Shill.
The planet is not in jeopardy, the humans are & it’s a done deal at this point. Just waiting on the inertia.
Before we’re extinct, we’re going to play the grandest game of musical chairs in human history.

***10 Reasons Our Civilization Will Soon Collapse***
‘
*A deep dive into the problems world leaders have let spiral out of control. — October 15 2023*
‘
“That’s right. Our entire global industrial civilization is going to collapse. And soon, which means within the lifetimes of most people alive today.
‘
I realize this is quite the claim, and a pretty terrifying one if you’re under 50 or so. In this article, I will list 10 problems the world is facing, each of which could cause the collapse of civilization all on its own. Which means, if even one of these problems isn’t solved, our civilization is doomed.
‘
Before I continue, let me explain what I mean by “collapse.” First of all, it doesn’t necessarily mean that humans will go extinct. While that is certainly a plausible scenario given the many existential threats we are facing, I still believe it is unlikely. Small groups of humans survived in very difficult conditions for tens of thousands of years.
‘
By collapse, I mean a breakdown of social institutions like governments and economies, followed by a dramatic decline in the human population. I realize that’s still kind of vague, so here’s a more specific definition I found in the book, How Everything Can Collapse

Yeah, it was supposed to end in 2012 as well, remember? You need to get off that Death Clock doom site, ap, & back on yer meds - post-haste. Yours is an intensely adolescent energy - Kool ‘n Edgy.
I know this is controversial, & it might make you angry because it’s not what you want to hear, but I reckon we’re all going to be just grand.
Don’t be so panicky, hang on to your composure. And get some sleep, like a good lad.

I like your optimism, caesar. I’m not in Ap’s camp, but I don’t think the future is as bright as Orange would have us believe.

At species level, AV, consider all the catastrophes we’ve survived - plagues, famines, wars - & environmental disasters. The Total Destruction narrative is just simplistic & reductive. Too teenage edge.

h sapiens has been pushed to the brink of extinction in the past by changing climate, with recent estimate being only a thousand or so individuals left alive; it could easily have ended there.
The many threats since, including various plagues wiping out or more of regional populations, have never come close to complete-extinction level, but they have been enough to erase entire civilisations and create lasting problems like widespread autoimmunity issues.
Current social policy is inducing a return of both these threats and creating many more that have in the past caused global mass extinction events—e.g. dumping neurotoxins and other poisons everywhere—for mostly stupid reasons like “people want to eat cows”.

# you are only proving me right by deleting my comments, why can’t you debate me properly like an adult? #
Humanity is too profitable of a chattel to be extincted, but to have their consciousness managed in a matrix-like simulation, absolutely. And as usual those who sounded the alarm were also gaslighted by being called ‘conspiracy theorists’. Remember when we were told these plastics were totally safe and harmless? Now it seems the ability to critically think and reason is being lost due to some of these forever chemicals and pthalates, so it won’t be long before many will be a total slave to the matrix, I am sure.

There is only one way to stop the destruction of this planet. Lower the population. Stop having kids. We did perfectly fine 100 years ago when the world had 2 billion people on it. No problem surviving and growing back then.
If we stabilize the population we wont need money nearly as much, (when an apple costs a few cents, a house $15,000)… and we can focus on improving everyone’s lives.
I absolutely believe we keep returning to this world to live over and over (as told by many millions of people who died and were resuscitated), so the world we create is the world we are going to come back to many times.
