"Earth's population will be forced to colonise two planets within 50 years if natural resources continue to be exploited at the current rate, according to a report out this week." (Via Post-Atomic.)
I'm reconciled to the very real threat of ecological apocalypse in my (natural) lifetime. But a lot of people -- especially Americans, whose "news" media virtually ignores environmental issues -- are going to be even more frightened than I am when humans start dying by the hundreds of millions.
Will organizations like the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement become "mainstream" within the next few decades?
