Too true Dillion too true. But first you will have to deal with humans moving too faster and in great numbers to places where they can have a more comfortable life, food to eat, clean water to drink (if any) and disease spread too. Also political unrest and civil wars, food wars , water wars will all figure into it. Don’t forget increasing animal attacks as humans push to the ends of habitat for bears and wolves and raccoon etc. While the Know-Nothings like George Will will be sitting pretty in their gated and guarded communities till the scavengers move on to more easy pickings, the survivors that is. [Guarded by the same kind of trigger-happy Section 8’s employed now by Xe or Triple Canopy who have loads of experience in occupied Iraq and Afghanistan.]

I doubt we will have 6 billion in 2050. Not after all that and maybe one or more global plagues will thin out our ranks even more. Think of it this way if you aren’t working for a corporation you are living on your own day to day hand to mouth with a very short Hobbsian life. Inside it will be future earth and great! So getting fired could be a death penalty for you and me if we are so lucky to be wage slaves.

If someone could find a way to make climate change wildly profitable, corporations would work at lightning speed to develop the technologies and strategies that could fix it.  Because the biggest polluters are also the most profitable, there will never be any move to fix the problem and all will suffer.  The corporate bandits who run these monstrosities figure they can always find a way around any issues and continue to thrive.  They will show (as has already been demonstrated in Copenhagen) little compassion for the less fortunate among us who will be sacrificed to whatever disasters are created.  But look on the bright side ... if this actually comes to pass we won’t have to worry about over population anymore!

Oh goody, more good news.
But climate change can’t be too serious can it? I mean,
look at Copenhagen; the biggest (polluters), smartest
(technologically), and richest (greediest) countries in
the world left with no agreement what-so-ever! So, it
must not be too urgent, yes?
Their compassion for the other 173 nations is
overwhelming.
