NASA-funded study: industrial civilisation headed for 'irreversible collapse'?

7. *Sigh*.....this hyperbolic shit again?

As I've pointed out elsewhere, this kind of thing has *never* really been needed.....or helpful for that matter.

If this is what NASA's putting out these days.....I fear for their future.(Thanks GOP!)

THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is just one more reason why NASA needs better funding.....so they can have a better focus on actually building stuff to get us back into space, and not have to rely on poorly-thought out and excessively attention grabbing stuff like this.

Honestly, this whole study is flawed to a T. No joke. Just the fact that they tried to take the circumstances of ancient Mesopotamia & Rome and apply that to the *modern civilization as a whole*, which is *vastly* different in so many ways is already enough for that.....it's apples and oranges in fact.

This is disappointing in a lot of ways, really. NASA got us to the moon, for Pete's sakes! And now they're a shell of their former self.
But I don't blame them. No, I believe the fault lies squarely with the Republican Party; they're the morons who started this slash-and-burn type Reaganite nonsense in the first place.

And I stand by what I said. Because you know something? This really is a symptom of how far NASA's gone now. We *need* to give them more resources and better funding. And if that means we'll have to take back the House in this year's elections.....then let it be done. But, I for one, am *tired* of this outright Chicken Little stuff no matter how well intentioned some of it may be.

It's time to get NASA back into shape. The Republicans have done so much damage that it almost boggles the mind, really. In fact, maybe we should start a petition to get NASA working well again. Because they really do need the help.
