I am saddened to read the writing on the wall. I want to be hopeful that somehow humans will "see the light" and start taking care of each other. Maybe we can make it into the next century. We have to expose the myths that are driving us to extinction. Wow! What a job that is! I am trying to see some humor in this. I need some help here.

need help???

Well..... breathe in.....Breathe out....repeat first two steps.....then in 2107 you tell my grand kids about it.

I really doubt humans will become extinct..no matter how uncomfortable life gets for us on this planet. We are very adaptable..can't see us going anywhere. Whether life for us will particularly nice for us in 2107 is another matter. ;-)

This is a good summary. We have to ask ourselves what are the risks to humans becoming extinct? They are all risks that have been with us ever since we evolved, such as asteroids hitting our planet, changes in climate, new disease breaking out such as the black death and aids, and aliens beaming us all up.

War has always been with us, but now there is a new risk - that the next world war could wipe us all out if existing nuclear weapons are deployed in enough numbers. It's unlikely that war will ever break out, so we should be safe enough (:::sarcastic grin:::). The rest, like climate change, we can mitigate against as we do with all the threats that we face and have to deal with. But we have to learn to co-operate on a planet-wide basis if we are to minimize the chances of our extinction.

I agree, no extinction for humans, but we all be living in a very scary place. If the Political Rhetoric can't be calmed down, then we all be living in our own little Countries, walled off from everyone else, scared that THEY will throw something over the wall at you. And KNOWING that if they do, you WILL throw something back!

its amazing how close we came to never existing temp of 100 degrees to hot or cold no astroed for the dinosoures 1 gene thats all it would take

What?

Well, there are risks that could terminate mankind. Venus like climate change or a huge asteroid impact. But most likely is a "greece" situation: our technology and science achievements get lost due to war/catastrophe and we need hundreds or thousands of years to regain.

What?

I think if he had used some commas or periods it would make more sense:
"its amazing how close we came to never existing".
self explanatory
"temp of 100 degrees to hot or cold".
referring to Earth's temp being warmer or colder than currently
"no astroed for the dinosoures".
what if dinosaurs were not wiped out
"1 gene thats all it would take".
change 1 gene in our dna and we are monkeys not people
