meh, global warming will kill us sooner.... lol

[Bloodangel26]

global warming itself will not kill us...its not going to suddenly get so hot that we all die, but there are a few things that global warming could cause that might kill us

[A.D.]

american farmers are VERY productive.

Very true, and with splicing and genetically enhanced produce is becoming easier to manage becuase alot of these crops are engineered against parasites and disease. During my brief stay in college my suitemate worked for University of Idaho Agriculture R&D and did that kind of neat stuff. I never in my life thought growing peas would be so fascinating.

India signed for nuclear reactors and believe it or not it has 21 nuclear reactors!!!The strange thing is that India has not signed the agreement to not use nuclear weapons.WTF are they joking us?

well there is a big chance that global warming will kill us due to the fact that it is caused by the thinning of the ozone layer in which protects us from harmful uv radiation and if we were to lose that entirely well it would be something like that apple or orange in the movie "the core" just not that much over kill
we coudl most likely die from sunburns if that were to happen or some other unknown reason

we need another world war to thin the population out we can barely support the 3rd world countires and with the stready rise in the world population it will be impossable to feed the world or most of it

WWII was the most bloody was in human history(almost 100% sure) and the total death toll(civilians and all) was 36,000,000(36mil). the total earth population is 6,000,000,000+(over 6bil). so you figure 6bil/100=60mil. so 60mil is 1% of earths total population. so WWII cliamed about .5% of earths total population. thats nothing. a war wouldn't thin out the population that much. even if WWIII had double the death toll.

theres a book by tom clancy called red storm rising about WWIII. i never read it i too lazy though but i heard its good.

off topic, but yes red storm rising was a good book...there are a lot more books about ww3 out there, not sure what your point was
