the world is coming to an end, Earth is dying?
-
not really a thread on religion but just feel that lately the heatwave is very serious, with people from India dying and stuff.
today is the worst so far, to me at least, seriously i think if this continues to escalate, the world will die from the heat really soon. -
not tat soon for sure... maybe a few thousand years later when we are long not around anymore
-
Seems like sg every year hotter by 1 degree C?
-
nope. at the rate the heat is going up, i think it will be no longer than a few years.
u see when the heat goes up, humans use more resources to keep themselves cool, which in turn damages the ozone even faster and the cycle repeats. at this rate of temperature rising every 2-3 weeks, before the end of this year we will have a new record high of heatwave.
that is what i think la. -
global warming is real
-
-
riiiiiiiiiiiight... global warming is not real riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiighhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttttttttt
-
ofcourse global warming is real....mankind was made to protect his environment.......we forget all about it with our selfishness to indulge in wot this world has to offer.........they waste too much time indulging, they crave for more not knowing and forgetting wot living is all about.......we were made dominant not so that we could destroy the environment we live in.....i bet that if there were other intelligent beings, some would've crumbled becoz of this......crumbling on our own is as same as suicide.....

ya lor. humankind is killing themselves. i am a buddhist, but now that i think of it, the teachings of reincarnation, but if humankind were to die off, where is the reincarnation?
then i think again, christianity preaches about life after death. in heaven with no reincarnation. and also the 2nd coming and stuff that i am not sure off.
but all religions are in a way "made by man, spread by man".
haiz. a lot of thoughts lately. especially about life -
ya........and most people who do suicide think reincarnation is real.......the fact about suicide is that yay less power consumption for the world but to think of it in another way, that life could've been put to good use like help in finding an alternate source for power or something....i bet even in the next 10 years, singapore will still have 90% non eco friendly cars......the thing is we all think about ourselves and not about how priceless our environment is......Originally posted by bladez87:ya lor. humankind is killing themselves. i am a buddhist, but now that i think of it, the teachings of reincarnation, but if humankind were to die off, where is the reincarnation?

so estimately when is earth gonna be destroyed?
-
soon, i think. Global warming fallen deaf ears to many of us. Oceans continue to die, algae propagating in china, carbon monoxide continue to produce.
-
the earth will be destroyed in the next millions or billions of years.....but mankind could never last that long....Originally posted by hatemeifuwantto:so estimately when is earth gonna be destroyed? -
if anyone played Deus Ex 2 before... this sounds like a great time to be an Omar before the Earth really dies.
-
then why do they even care?by tat time we would be able to find alternative for fuels etc.Originally posted by Deino:the earth will be destroyed in the next millions or billions of years.....but mankind could never last that long.... -
this is some kind of cycle right? hmmm well by that tim i alreayd diedOriginally posted by bladez87:nope. at the rate the heat is going up, i think it will be no longer than a few years.

well the thing is if we could prevent global warming and stuffs, we may well be able to live for like a few millenniums more......which we could well forget the hell about it if we want to enjoy now and suffer later, there may not even be a next next next next next next next generation if we keep on going like this........have you ever thought about how slower we are going? like after WW2 we prospered technologically fast and now were slowing down,Originally posted by hatemeifuwantto:then why do they even care?by tat time we would be able to find alternative for fuels etc. -
robots.
AI.
teraflop.
medicine.
space shuttle.
air con.
better weapons to kill other human beings.
just to name a few. -
actually what i think is. mankind will not last another few thousand years. i think few years at most. but of course i hope i am wrong. cause i am still young. but we gotta be prepared ya?
do what we want, live the life we want. because before you know it, we will be dead. everyone keep thinking "ooo the world is not going to die until xxx years later, by then i am already dead. so why not i enjoy whatever i want now, let later generations suffer."
but if everyone thinks the same, and does what they want, it will escalate the rate at which the earth dies, thus bringing the doomsday closer.
lets put it simple, i dont think the world dies due to the lack of resources. i think mankind will die due to the heatwave caused by global warming. resources will run out, but as for when, we not sure. cause we cant like calculate and be sure of where all the resources are.
but what we can calculate is the rate of how global warming is increasing the temperature at a high rate, that before we know it, it will be too hot for us to survive. especially those near the equator. like singapore. we dont get natural disasters, right...but we get the direct impact of global warming since we dont have the 4 seasons to cycle our year. -
resources. power is most important, and if u watched TV, some dude from Germany came up with glass panels that can harness solar power. and it is just 2007.
this makes it possible for buildings to outfit their glass panels with this technology. therefore, power will not be an issue soon, if the rich guys decide to go green and use this technology. and with it, electric cars can be fitted with this technology too. therefore, global warming caused by the generation of electricity by human beings can be cut down to a very minimum.
maybe by 2200 humans would be living all over the f--- shop. by that, i mean in other star systems as well. -
hmmm.. think about this..
two brown coal power stations are being built a week in China...
that's about 100 power stations a year being built.. using brown coal.. so much so that even the authorities in China are running scared.. not to mention the number of unauthorised power stations...
do the math..
btw.. politicians are still sewing their eyes shut over this.. they are still trying to increase the population in their own nations...
the scientists have calculated and mapped it all out.. we are severely overpopulated..
think about this.. and think about the 6.5 million we are told to prepare for..
and think about every country out there trying to do the same... -
we'll die before the earth dies. -
actually, in our time, it could be that the earth dies before we do.. which will not be that much longer after..
we are living in the Age of Consequences..Originally posted by xaih: we'll die before the earth dies. -
but if we are high tech enough, we might just be able to save ourselves.
-
you think so?
knowledge is not to be mistaken for wisdom..
while our knowledge has increased leaps and bounds, our wisdom hasn'tOriginally posted by Ristar:but if we are high tech enough, we might just be able to save ourselves.
