WE ARE KNEIS.
Everyone knows that when the Titanic sunk, the orchestra played at the upper deck - till the very last moment. What a proportionate amount of us don't know, is that the majority of the passengers chose to dance - even when they all knew that it was all going to hell.

We thought the same way 30 years ago, when a good number of countries in Europe decided to stop building more nuclear shelters. In France, only a third of the people can fit inside these shelters. And we just have to sit down, and accept it. We aren't scared of nuclear war anymore. We've stopped thinking about what makes us uncomfortable. The thin layer that stops paradise, from being fallout.

History has shown that there are 12 possible scenarios, for a fully-encompassing collapse of society.
The most important one, being overpopulation. 255 babies are born each minute. A single-child policy is our only hope, but no one wants to even discuss that. Number two, is climate change. Number three, deforestation. We cut too many trees - and the farming-capable fields are put down by erosion, and intolerant use of land. We don't have enough water, and we throw our feces in what we have.

We fish too much, and increasingly more. Historically-speaking we hunt too much too. Now we kill animals, just to put them in cages. And each day, somewhere on Earth, a species goes extinct. We don't have enough oxygen. New species introduced in our circles make for unbalance, and in China 50 thousand new cars get added to the lot each day. Poisoning is number 11, and at last we have: Deficit of Energy. And that's our weakest point.

If only 1 of these 12 threats reaches a critical point, we're finished. Not every single one, or 5, or 6 of them. 1 is enough. At that point, the ship is sinking. And we're just dancing.

I agree with you on all these being valid reasons to prep. Depressing as heck, but all true. There are just too many people on the planet now, and it will continue to get worse until there is some kind of correction. Nature has a way of finding ways to thin out overpopulated species, even though we continue to try and mitigate her.
Welcome to the forum.

Where do I start? There is no global shortage of resources, only local shortages, mainly due to gross mismanagement and corruption. I agree with some of that, especially with the problem of deforestation, but that is something that can be easily reversed. In many places it has already been reversed. Carbon dioxide, that "pollutant" blamed for global warming is essential for trees to grow. Trees produce oxygen. Trees prevent erosion. Trees sequester carbon. Trees increase local atmospheric water. Trees make food. Trees provide wildlife habitat. Old trees make fuel.

What am I doing about it?

Planting trees of course...:)
(We are turning the family farm into a tree farm)

There are game laws that insure hunting and fishing are sustainable. Sport hunting and fishing are valuable wildlife conservation tools. In countries like Kenya where sport hunting was banned, species like the Northern White Rhino are all but extinct (the Southern White Rhino is doing just fine due to sport hunting in South Africa).

China was on a One Child policy from 1979 until 2015 when they started replacing it with a two child policy. A billion people in China have no brothers, no sisters, no aunts, no uncles, no nephews, no nieces, no cousins. Young people have aging parents and grandparents they have to provide for, with nobody else to help. A single person may have two parents and four grandparents, and possibly some great grandparents to provide for, with no brothers or sisters to share the burden. They are sick of it.

There is no shortage of energy, just a distribution problem. Oil and gas wells are being capped due to lack of demand. Newer, more efficient, and cleaner refineries are not being built because of excessive government regulations, so ancient refineries are still being patched up and running at full capacity.

The two most populous countries on earth, India and China, with a combined population of 2.7 billion people (39% of the world's population), are both self sufficient in primary food crops. China has estimated that they will still be self sufficient in the year 2023. And despite high levels of pollution in some parts of China, nobody is passing out from oxygen deprivation.

Welcome to the group. I've been waiting for a correction myself. At my age I wonder if I'll live to see it or be part of it, lol.

I think many often ignore the practical reasons for this.
1. Dancing keeps you warm
2. Better to be on deck as long as you can vs. in the freezing water.
