Our global response to this will likely be the usual: breed.
We reproduce our way out of the dangers posed by any humanitarian crisis, which affords us great apathy and callousness toward the torturous death of any people.
As a strategy, reproduction has been successful, but that strategy is now challenged by the limits of natural resource available for the survival of our species.

It’s not really such a big deal, because it’s happened before and yet people somehow survive and new civilizations are born.
After all the wars, famine, plague, and self-destructive behaviour humans have experienced, nothing is stopping us.
Add up all the death & disease & destruction and you get a world with more people on it than at any other time in history.

One thing I realized while in Europe: the Europeans have nothing on the US.
If you want to learn about mass cultural destruction, genocide, political corruption, and human rights violations, go to Europe.
Then try to stomach their criticism of the United States.
I will continue to criticize the US government as corrupt and treacherous, but my attitude and fawning of the European continent’s moral superiority is no more.
what happened to beijing?
Roses line the streets for kilometers. The trees planted in the rush of ’08 preparations have had a year to root and are now growing skyward and blooming with pride and determination. Thousands more shrubs, hedges, and potted plants adorn walkways, entrances, sidewalks and park areas throughout the city. So my question is:
What the hell happened to Beijing? It is so beautiful.
Really, in my opinion, the greening of the city that the taxpayers undoubtedly spent billions on is really paying off, not only in aesthetic value but also for the improved quality of air and the increasing number of “blue sky” days.
I notice the trees and plants because I come from a city in the US that is known for its beautiful trees and plants. People in Atlanta spend lots of time and money landscaping their homes and public areas–and for good reason.
It’s just makes home that much prettier.
