What will it be like? Will the earth be a barren, hostile place, ravaged by storms as global warming increases? Will humanity have obliterated itself in a grand, final war? Or will the world simply become even more crowded then it already is?

the world in 2101...
global warming...
i was listening to a talkback radio [possibly the most destructive of all radio programmes, but anyhow] they were talking about the validity of global warming. by this i mean the increasing temperature of the world and mainly about the greenhouse effect which seems to be blamed by pollution etc. but the question raised was how do we know that the greenhouse effect even exists? most people rang up and said that it was so irresponsible of the host to say that because numerous scientific studies have shown that it does indeed exist but the one of the 2 main points of the topic being raised was 1)we believed it because we were being told so every where we went, and so it had become an undisputed truth, and 2)people said that their town that they had been living in for 40+ years hadn't been so hot since.....date. and that was precisely the point. if global warming was happening because of our mistreatment of the earth, and we were having hotter summers therefore, why was it so hot way back then [the year they were comparing to]. like someone will say this summer was the hottest since 1898 - how does this prove global warming? doesn't it just show that sometimes the earth gets hot, and sometimes it gets cold? because that's what i would have thought. but i digress [a lot]


i think that the world will continue to become more polluted however, and that if there is indeed a war [each day it seems more likely] that most will die and those that don't will be very sick, poor etc except for the .001% that will be very rich. not that much different from today i guess.

i don't think the world will be more populated, probably about the same amount as today - what with all the mass killings that'll happen. we call it war and we call it patriotic.

hopefully people will have realised by then that life isn't about who is the prettiest or who has the fastest car, but about things that actually matter.


have you seen my marbles?
