Want to talk about a more serious issue....
geomagnetic reversal!
This global phenomenon has severe catastrophic implications and makes "global warming" look like child's play. Nobody wants to talk about this one because it's cycle is more well-known and is almost sure to happen. [Our culture is hooked on these apparent "reality" shows which are the furthest from the truth. We submerge ourselves in distraction to hide from reality. Look around at everyone texting, using cell phones, surfing the internet. Less and less of us are observing or interacting with our surroundings. We're in a very counterproductive stage in evolution right now. I hope that it's merely a blip which will redirect itself towards a more productive path.]
The last complete reversal happened almost a million years ago, and though not a certainty to cause global extinction, there is the possibility that humans could be wiped out with the next one. As a species, we are incredibly fragile and can exist only when certain parameters are met, including temperature, oxygen levels, CO2 levels, radiation, atmospheres (any prolonged exposure to less than 400 mb can kill us).
Our strength as a race is changing the environment around us, not adapting to it. There may be a portion of the population that can withstand a complete geomagnetic reversal but the majority could be wiped out within the first 50 years or so.
