We have all the resources necessary to observe our own collision course with disaster - cool, but no motivation to change it - sad

Who said anything about a collapse of civilisation. We got through two world wars and a cold war in the last century. Global warming and civil unreset will be a breeze by comparison.

I'm more worried by what is happening to the gene pool, weren't we supposed to get smarter?

Two world wars and a cold war are good benchmarks for a successful civilization!

That is a scary, scary website. If you are looking for the collapse of civilisation, it begins there - with the death of rational thought!

The introduction amused me - in presenting the article's credentials - and all backed by NASA; ver smart! But science and academia seem to lack clout against corporate power.

PS. UKC objects to very long words - you must reconstruct the URL string for clickability

Runs parallel with this United Nations report on sustainable farming:

blatantly contradicted by onward march of the transatlantic treaty

I think it might begin with a yes vote for Scottish independence!

I recall a clip of a stand up comedian who's theory of what happened to the ancient Egyptian civilisation was, "They were out f@#ked by the idiots."

That website is known to be run by a mentally delusional idiot. Have you seen the stuff on there? Crackers.

Seems like there is a bit on controversy surrounding the article itself:

Any website that recommends not getting vaccinations is not worth my, or anyone else's time.

In reply to Grey area:

pardon me but whatever you think of naturalnews I think the presented article agrees with its sources; lets not get side-tracked!
