Looking At Where We Stand

Excellent must-read piece on the REAL "Inconvenient Truth!" Complete with fascinating and graphic ... graphics. Such as this one:



A few poignant snips:

Absent immediate fundamental changes to both our distorted worldview and our dysfunctional resource utilization behavior, American society will collapse—not in 1000 years, or 500 years, or even 50 years; but almost certainly within 25 years. America, as we know it, will cease to exist well before the year 2050.






We are the hapless perpetrators of our own demise: we are driving full speed on the self-chosen “industrialization” highway toward a minefield of lethal limits to our existing lifestyle paradigm; yet we are culturally incapable of stopping or of exiting from the highway.

While we acknowledge that “we have our problems”, we consider the idea that our American way of life is unsustainable to be utterly preposterous.
