DEPLETION OF FOSSIL FUEL, GLOBAL WARMING, AND THE DECLINE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION

The other day I ran into a woman in elevator of my apartment building who complained about a recent heat wave. I told her "THIS IS THE FUTURE." This is the fucking future!! Thanks to the release of emissions from fossil fuels the earth's surface is getting hotter each year. At the same time Western Civilization is dependant on fossil fuels for air conditioning. Hey wait until everyone in China has an air conditioner. Wait until the Chinese all have cars. The world wide fuel tank gas gauge is a half full and so Western Civilization will be RUNNING ON EMPTY. When the time oil, gas and coal are depleted, the pace of civilization is going to slow down. By that time people are not going to want to mess with energy generated by nuclear fission - too messy, too many accidents. What if fusion energy never materializes, hot or cold? There is no guarantee that science is going to find a viable energy substitute for gas, coal and oil. Civilization will decline as fuel runs out. People will move to areas with warmer climates because of the high cost of heating fuel since it still is going to get cold in the winter in Europe and in the northern parts of America. So like people will move to Florida which will be stiffling hot. Highways will be empty, lights will be dim, life will cheapen. What if the polar ice caps melt because of global warming? What have these creatures, the size of ants in relation to the size of the earth, done to their own natural habitat. They filled the air with shit, with noxious emissions. Emissions from refridgerators, freon, one of the most widely smuggled substances. People will become dependent on renewable fuels such as wood and hemp oil, but these renewable resources require land, once used for farming, to regenerate.

Why so many destructive hurricanes? Because the ocean temperature is rising. "Temperature rising, water is high / Not a bright future / Coming out of the sky / Global Warming 'as got me on the run." Lennon would be singing this had he lived. And Bush refused to sign the accord on global warming. Revolution is still really the only solution.

THE THREAT OF CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE TO THE CONTINUATION OF LIFE ON EARTH

All of the above conjecture presupposes that life is not wiped out before then. Releasing a biological agent into the atmosphere could conceivably wipe out the entire population of the planet earth including the inventors of the biological agent. These biological agents are living things that multiply and are passed from person to person. They mutate.
