You may not agree with these observations but the human race is treading a dangerous path. There are those who will say “just another day at the plant” when confronted by senseless mass murders, a Russia-Ukraine war and all the other mega problems we face today. But this time it’s very different. Consider the three ways our world could end. First, the quick way…nuclear war. Many countries possess or will soon possess the ability to close our books. Second, worldwide pandemic without adequate time to develop an effective vaccine. COVID vaccines saved us so far this time but what about the next time. And third, climate change…a topic many think to be a hoax. Ask scientists and you get an almost unanimous response. We are getting hotter each year, now to the point where melting ice caps at the poles are starting to affect the earth’s tilt. The real tragedy here is that with a united effort our human race could reduce or totally eliminate ALL these threats. But, instead we bicker among ourselves. We threaten a nuclear holocaust that no one will survive. We avoid life-saving vaccines as we watch friends and family die needlessly. And we ignore environmental changes because we don’t believe the experts. This isn’t your grandfather’s war where damage was done locally during a far-off battle. These developments will impact the entire earth and we are only one step short of ANY of these occurrences. We can no longer act selfishly; we must act responsibly on the global stage. Focus on fixes or the show will not go on. We realize this is an ultra-gloomy scenario but it must be faced and defeated…not ignored. Look at your children and imagine their lives if any of these three evolving scenes materialize.
