Many believe that Civilizations can only get so large or technilogically advanced before they are doomed, either to Habitat or social changes in that society.I would like to discuss these possiblities, outcomes and conspiracies that all of us harbor in the back of our minds.
We will start with the most obvious threat to human civilization, War. Humans are war-bearing beings that fight for many reasons, some include Habitat, some include political, some are what we would say Religiously induced.
MODERN WARS
The threat of loosing some part of modern-civilization is definately at stake with the current War's and fighting between nations. Wars are lasting longer, causing more civilian outcrys than ever before.
Weapons of mass distruction are available to many nations in the world, I believe 17 off the top of my head. Do we all really think the world can go another 200 years without some nation releasing a nuclear or thermo-detonated weapon device. I dont think so, and I think when that day does come, it will be like the fight after school at 3pm. Everyone is going to bring their big brother, larger nations with larger arsenals.
It will either become a stand-off or a shoot out. If you dont think that this is inevitable, you have not taken the fact that you cannot 'remove' nukes from planet earth. They cannot be dismantled, they were made to be detonated.
GLOBAL PANDEMIC
You would be a fool to believe we are safe in modern day society from Flu or even The Black Plague. The black plauge killed more than 40% of Europes population when it arrived in the 13th century. The most recent pandemic is our H1N1 Bird flu, and we've all seen how fast it moves.
Traveling from continent to continent has never been any quicker than modern day travel techniques. We all saw how the BirdFlu spread from Mexico, to the North-Eastern USA and then suddenly everywhere on the globe almost. With everyday comes more and more people capable of catching and spreading the BirdFlu.
The BirdFlu is not our only danger, not many people are aware but the Black Plauge still lives in the Deserts of California's death valley and mountains. It's a miracle that small populations of people havnt contracted this disease, especially near the border where its more rural.
HABITAT CHANGES
We are all aware the seaons that come and go give us different weather patterns and they are generally consitant from year to year. Recently, some of us have noticed a spike in strange weather in our living area's. Weather it be an increase of rain, decrease or temperature fluctuations, whatever changes effects everything drastically. We all grow marijuana here mainly and we know how important Habitat is for plants and animals. The world's habitats are being changed faster than they ever have, and its not so much Mother-Earths idea. Imagine how many less fuel-immisions planet earth would have if Humans didnt exist, the weather may be completely different without us.
We've seen an increase of Hurricane and natural disasters; that could be debatable due to the connectivity of the internet and people able to share weather stories and annomilies much easier. I myself have seen a 10 degree change in the weather compared to average, its 10F lower than before 3 years ago.
The mid-western united states produces a rediculous ammount of food for the entire-world and if this cycle is disrupted, millions will die of starvation, millions already are. If the worlds climates contintue to change, we will see a large loss of food from Agriculture and Livestock.
SOCIAL AND POLITICAL
We have all seen large social changes in the last 100 years of human civilization, let alone the change from Decade to decade, or day to day. Sometimes these changes benefit mankind for the better, and sometimes they dont, sometimes we barely notice a difference, but someone always feels the impact.
Civil wars are generally faught by all countries and all types of civilizations. Could the United states break out into another civil war over terms unforseeable?
MIX IT UP
I really am suprised we havnt seen a larger loss of human life when we look at all these things happening at the same time, contributing, effecting, and fueling the problems and issues that we have in our modern-day.
If you take Modern Wars, Political upevils, habitat and pandemic issues;mix them, you could almost not fathom anything less than the destruction of civilization or mankind entirely.
