Ninety percent of the oil discovered must remain in the ground or humans are fuct. The end. You want more? That's weird, but okay.
This outdated and overly optimistic tome was withdrawn from my library so I acquired it. As someone who stays current, I wondered if I was missing pieces of the puzzle. Nothing of consequence was gained, except I learned you can kill ants with soapy water instead of Raid. That tip alone was worth my twenty-five cents, but It had no effect on the following opinion.
Nothing is coming to save us and no one seems to much care. Perhaps humans are so disgusted by our current state that the majority are subconsciously rooting for extinction. Current IPCC projections are based on carbon sucking technology we are hoping to invent in the future. That's like spending money now because I'm pretty sure I'll write a Best Seller in the future to cover the debt.
The only way humans don't go extinct is if the majority of humans die off. Even if industrial civilization collapsed, there would still be a three degree increase, which would kill most living things on Earth.
At least humans plan to die off before they infect other planets with consumptive disease, assuming that one rich guy chokes on a BFR before he can infect Mars with a colony.
Time to finish your Book Bucket List before enough pressure is exerted upon the light switch. That, or buy lots of flashlights and batteries for your non-air conditioned blanket fort of the future.
Personally, I welcome our future overlords: ants! Those hardworking fellows have long awaited their turn at the top of the pyramid. Let's hope the irradiated waters don't put bacteria back on top.
