The only real question is, as we dispose of these manufactured worries one by one, what new ones will they come up with to continue trying to scare us?
I have a few ideas:
Global Cooling/Impending Ice Age. Water shortage. Food shortage. Too much rain. Monsoon Shortage. More storms. Fewer storms. Growing deserts. Shrinking deserts. Shrinking/Growing forests. Increasing ocean salinity.
Oxygen depletion. Frozen tundra methane. Methane from wetlands or ocean floor. Mercury/Lead/Cadmium. Nasty chemical du jour.
Agriculture. Ranches. Too many farms. Mining. Cities. Too many houses. Golf courses. Cars and trucks of course.
Anything man-made in air, water or soil.
Too many people. Too few fish. Harmful effects of electricity.
Volcanic activity. Cosmic radiation. Toxic Meteors.
I'm sure they'll come up with something.
Next time I think the trick is to demand that they quantify the "threat" so we can compare it to other
threats and decide just how concerned we ought to be before we spend trillions on a fix that may or may not
work, on a problem that may or may not exist.
