    Are we supposed to be really excited about one of our apocalypse options?

      You should check out the history of apocalypse forecasting. It’s almost as amusing as the long history of “kids these days” complaints.

      Both are bullshit, however. People just like whining and fantasizing about things they don’t like being punished.

        Did those apocalypse forecasts have a hundred years of scientific data backing it up?

          In some cases, though the standards of “scientific evidence” were much, much lower back in the day. The scientific method, is afterall, an approach by which we try to refine our stuff over time.

          But the key here is apocalypse. Nothing lasts forever, no kingdom or country will, including ours. But people will remain. Societies will remain. The biosphere isn’t going anywhere, unless you’re thinking in religious terms.

          It’s not an end of us all, though it will create massive upheaval if we don’t start on mitigation soon.

                Turns out suicide is difficult, who knew? Great suggestion though, very constructive.
