User blog comment:Era of Anarchy/Is There Hope for Humanity?/@comment-1681465-20100405092411

Hmmm. Humanity is inevitably doomed anyway. Regardless of what we do, life will end eventually, be it in a nuclear winter or the inevitable change in climate that will kill us. Even if we made a massive effort to save the environment, the very best we could do is prolong our lifespan on our planet by around 7 years before the same result would occur. In my opinion, millions of cuts to stuff that we use daily isn't worth another 7 years.

The most likely manners in which the human race shall end or come close to extinction will be a virus killing 99% of the population (similar to the show Survivors) in which case it'll be survival of the fittest. Alternatively we shall be hit my a large meteorite (also eventually inevitable), which will not only kill a large percentage of the populace upon impact, but the resulting dust thrown up will blanket the atmosphere, allowing no heat to escape and block out the sun.

Basically we are screwed whatever way we look about it, it's just how long before we die is the case.
