> Rod, 5/6 of the world population dying off is not what I would consider the world going on. Your statement here seems full of pessimism. What's going on?
><<< It was my bad idea, and I apologise!!! I was not being pessimistic from my point of view... I am attempting to search for optional outcomes, and this scenario keeps coming up from every angle and from all over the place.
1. The world as we know it will dramatically change forever as of 2012.
2. Another species will help the remaining humans begin rebuilding around 2020.
3. There will be a remarkable peace of 1000 years.
4. Our Sun stops flaring and starts to actually dim, progressing to a red giant by sometime before the year 4000, devouring planets including the Earth.
Pessimism doesn't allow for analysis. Analysis allows for preparations for optional outcomes, like leaving the planet before it becomes inhospitable.
....I hope I get to see some of that 1000 years of peace.
