How long will the human race last?

[beppington]

I've realized that many things I do during a typical day require gas or diesel, sometimes large quantities, sometimes less.

And that's fine with me; it's enjoyable; I like to operate machines. However, with billions & billions of people also using gas & diesel daily, it's bound to run out at some point. Maybe after I'm gone, I dunno, but prob at some point.

Humans will probably move to other energy sources, slowly but surely, or maybe even quickly if someone invents something great, or something politically changes, so we may conquer that problem.

However, since our other natural resources are also limited, & the total # of humans increases every year, I wonder if the human race or earth or both have a limited life span. I mean, how many people can the earth host?

Not trying to be a downer, just kinda wondering if many of the arguments people engage in will turn out to have been a kind of a waste of time/ effort ... like laying on your death bed realizing, "Man, what the heck was I fretting over for all those years?"

(some random Fri afternoon thoughts :laughing

Well, I don't know about you, but after watching a couple of Planet of the Apes movies, I quit makin' fun of the monkeys when I go to the zoo. Just sayin'. . .

Oh no, that is not a downer at all on a Friday afternoon. Reminds me of the Mad Max movies.

If the United Nations has their way (Agenda 21),, 80% of us will be gone by the year 2030 anyway! ~~ grnspot

I'm old enough that by then I may not remember if I was here or not. :laughing: :laughing:

All energy originated or originates from nuclear sources (sun or nuclear plants). So, I would say when the sun burns out, or we blow ourselves up, which ever comes first.

I beleive that there will still be fuel and sources of fuel here long after us lol. Just judging by how dumb alot of folks are getting and the lack of common sense. We will probably self extinct ourselves lol. I watched about 15 minutes of the movie Idiocracy and several folks I know popped into my mind.

Hmmmmmmmmm. That's like checking the variety of 'best before' dates in the dairy section before the power goes out...which date is the best date? :laughing:

As long as I'm gone before the end of the human race, why worry about it. I'm more concerned about my 'to do list' for tomorrow, next week, next year rather then some distant (hopefully) date further along. :thumbsup:

Now, back to my list...
