David is busy eating all the crabs I can tell!The human population of Japan is predicted to drop by 43% from a 2010 peak to the year 2100.
I would be concerned if I were a Japanese person, especially one of lower means and dependent on the social safety net funded by younger taxpayers.
I understand that's not the point of this thread, though. Fewer humans would be better for most other creatures of our planet, sure, with many exceptions, like subway rats and toy poodles.
But really, @viper69, it would be best for you in future posts to choose any of the countless other examples of how we're destroying the planet.
This particular instance risks giving people the false impression that you're just being crabby.
P.S. Nice to see you @DomGom TheFather! I wasn't around much for a while, probably stuck in a gulag somewhere, or eating crabs -- they take a long time to eat!
Truthfully, although I personally wouldn't make it through an event like that, I believe it could be a good thing if the right ones made it through and the right ones didn't.Billions of snow crabs have disappeared from the waters around Alaska. Scientists say overfishing is not the cause | CNN
The Alaska snow crab harvest has been canceled for the first time ever after billions of the crustaceans have disappeared from the cold, treacherous waters of the Bering Sea in recent years.
Valuable in what way? It's only humans that are destroying the environment. Even the least intelligent animals have more sense than to destroy their own homes.
Valuable and special every way possible. Look around. We have houses, beds, lights, skyscrapers, we can see into space, we can travel 1000 miles in 4 hours. We can cry, laugh, tell a joke. We can discuss the various issues that impact or world. Heck we can understand that our planet is in danger and how severe it is. We are engineers, doctors, filmmakers, cooks. Literally everything about us is special. Just look around. Animals are stupid, completely idiotic to our standard. You think animals care about climate change. Animals don’t care a smidge about it, even worse there to stupid to no that exist. Go tell the imported european fire ants that are invasion and destroying native ant population. They didn’t try to go back to there native habitat when they arrived in the U.S. cause they don’t care cause there stupid. If there is a animal you know that builds sky scrapers, are advanced doctors, and feels as deeply and passionately as humans then please let me know. I just covered one percent of why humans are superior. You can spend ten thousand lifetimes exploring all the different subjects and see what humans discovered through science and art. There’s another thing we can create music that’s full of beauty. I’m not talking about the crap pop and rap. Artist who actually can create beautiful melodies. Check out snarky puppy. I don’t understand the people that say that humans superiority is subjective. Literally just look around you. The fact that you have a phone is reason enough to say there superior. Now you may say that humans are destroying the earth. Yes there is some things that ethically wrong and people shouldn’t do like overfishing that people shouldn’t do but I’ve been hearing this climate crap for my entire life saying the worlds gonna end tomorrow. Nothing has happened. It’s like you argue that humans have to regulate their success to make way for lesser animals which just proves human superiority further because are species is so productive in every way that we can outcompete everything. Every time I look outside, I’m astounded on how much life there is and I live on Long Island which is really industrialized. Imagine if I lived in like Arkansas. Acres of untouched land. No I’m not really concerned about a dying planet.
So an interesting question is why people do bad, evil things. Know that is a good question. What’s your thoughts?
simple answer is they just dont care
The worst thing about humans and, in my opinion, the cause of everything that’s bad in us: the ego.
I would argue that ego is just a species of the genus wrong. Just like greed, hate, and selfishness.
