Being a climate driven science fiction writer I'm afraid I completely agree with you. The only things that will save us is a rapid die-off in our species and then a reconstruction once again of a new civilization.

I am one of the one's that believe this has happened before in the past perhaps three or four times. We have the evidence but we ignore it. Everything about our past is cloaked in what I call religious mythology. This mythology is used to prevent us from facing the truth of who and what we are - a control diven hierarchical system in which very few retain any real power.

We have to kick off any future civilization with a form of energy which might be referred to as electrogravitational - think Nicola Tesla.

I amuse myself by thinking how we might survive living underground for hundreds of years, using the high tech we currently have and then start again.

That won't be without it's consequences however. Those in power will have total surveillance over the majority of our us and our intellectual lives. They will be part of a breakaway civilization of genetically altered humans (yes we can do it and we will - alter our DNA) .

But alas all of it is fiction and highly unlikely to happen. I think your last sentence says it all.

We're on the same page Omar, and sad though this may seem, I commend you on your articles. Perhaps the pen will be mightier than the sword who knows - but I doubt it.
