(16,092 posts)That presents refugee problems. Not enough food to feed people. Water issues are already showing us a taste of what the lack of that resource means. I watched PBS when they had the stages of climate challenges and how humanity has been warned for so many years but our elected either does not believe it or it costs too much to even try to change our for sure troubles.

(16,838 posts)Its kind of shocking to me when I think of how long Ive lived. I know there are many here who think Im still young, but I see how quickly the last 50 years have gone by, I tell myself and my friends not to get depressed. Itll all be over before you know it.

No need to guess why they were abandoned.

Can't, won't try to talk with the crazy anymore. If you're so dumb you don't move until the freight train is in your front yard, well, you deserve what happens.
I really think the loony religious nuts from the Supremes on down to every "true believer" have accepted these are the End Times and they won't suffer because they will simply float up to Jesusland. Only me and mine will suffer in the hellfires because we ain't in the cult.
Don't be grounded when the Rapture comes!
