Earth 2100

Last night on TV there was a show called Earth 2100 which discussed what scientists predict could happen if we stick with the path we've been going down. it was quite good, and discussed climate change, water shortage, government failing to contain it, floods, hurricanes, mass migrations of animals, etc.

So i was wondering if anyone else watched it, and if so, what you think of it.

Remember, they're just theories.

There are many theories on the path of the environment. Years ago, scientists said hurricane season was going to have more and more hurricanes, but then they took it back when there might actually be less and less.

We should take heed of these predictions. They often come true.

But they also said that based on the math, to keep up our current consumption rate, we would have to have the resources of 4 earths. :/

That is assuming that the population growth is linear, isn't it?

If we suddenly have a million Octomoms... or WWIII, the population count will be drastically different.

i think it's possible it meant that, though it could also mean that if we continue exhausting resources at the current rate we are, they'll eventually deplete. it used easter island as a metaphore.
