Are you "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World"?
Lovely, Lannie, just lovely and funny.
I don't know about 2030. But, certainly by 2040. It's looking like we REALLY fucked up. We were playing with fire and we set our house ablaze.
I am struggling with how to respond to that information. What the Hell do you do with it?
Do you remember the Niven story I mentioned in one of my articles, "Inconstant Moon"? How the protagonist and his girlfriend go on a late night "spree" of food, booze, and breaking a storefront window because they know the END is only hours away.
We (doomers) are them, right now.
I used this example recently. What's about to happen to us has happened before, although perhaps to a lesser degree. In the 1300's the Climate in Europe, after 400 years of warm/mild weather, suddenly got a LOT cooler.
Agricultural Output shrank 50%.
The population shrank 50%.
In ONE very bad century.
Now imagine it's 1324 and you know this is about to happen.
Nothing you do or say can change it. 50% of the people around you are going to starve to death. With all of the disruption, chaos, and violence that entails.
What would you do?
WHY the HELL NOT PARTY "Like it's 1999".
