Doomsday is 2012??

<< < (2/4) > >>

LC EFA:
2012 ?

Unlikely IMO.

Give it another 10-20 years before we start having any really serious problems.

A system as large and complex as the existing one takes a long time to get to that exponential part of the slippery slope.

Doesn't mean one shouldn't be ready to go "right now" should the need arise though.

Anyone start building a generational ship to Alpha Centauri??

Ummm...

We've already been sliding down that slope for decades, it is getting steeper and we are rapidly approaching terminal velocity.

The Village Idiot:
I am not sure it is possible to even slow it down, not that any politicians on the horizon even want to.

DumbAss Tanker:
I don't buy any of the 2012 drama.  If we can turn over at least one house of Congress in 2010, we might even survive the incredibly stupid Obama economic death spiral.
