Mankind will be extinct in 100 years because of climate change, warns expert

Humans will be extinct in 100 years due to overcrowding, declining resources and climate change, according to a prominent scientist.

The comments were first made by Australian microbiologist Dr Frank Fenner in 2010, but engineer and science writer David Auerbach has reiterated the doom-laden warning in his latest article.

He criticises the recent G7 summit for failing to deal with the problems facing the survival of humanity, such as global warming and exhausting Earth's resources.

Mr Auerbach goes on to say that experts have predicted that 21st century civilisation faces a similar fate to the inhabitants of Easter Island, who went extinct when they overexploited their natural habitat.

Although the article was well-explained, there’s some info at Wikipedia on “solar shading”:

America is a lovely nation.
San Francisco is a lovely American city.
SF's population density is 10,770 persons per sq mi in one of its densest areas, the very lovely (and hyper-liberal) Berkeley (112,000 people in 10.4 sq mi).
Berkeley is the 110th most densely populated incorporated area in America.

(This is not India or Bangladesh. Many parts of NYC are over 60,000... the Friendship Village area of DC is over 80,000.)
(Paris is at 55,000. Manila is over 111,000.)

If the entire planet were forced to live within a single location with a density of 10,770 persons per sq mi (like Berkeley) the entire population of Planet Earth could live within...

the borders of Mexico.
(750,561 sq mi x 10,770 = 8.08 billion, actually)

Berkeley, CA:

So the entire population of the world will be tragically forced to live like this... in Mexico... while the rest of the planet is used for food and resource production, or laying fallow.

Now look at the map below... Go on... take a moment... we'll wait... see how much room Mexico takes up? And how much of the rest of the planet there is? Just sayin'...

100 years from now, when reduced solar activity is putting us into the next ice age, we’ll be talking about how we need to use fossil fuels, not only to keep warm, but to put MORE CO2 into the atmosphere so that we can save mankind by our efforts to warm the planet.
