one day we'll just look around and say "oh shit, we cut it all down and used it all up..."
Still won't kill the earth, but it'll make it pretty hard for us.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!
Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

is an asteroid that will pass in earth very close in 2029 and if it pass in a gravitacional keyhole it will strike in 2036 but the odd are 1 in 250,000.
I think a genetic apocalypse is most likely. With stupid people out breeding smart people to such an extent that the average IQ of the world falls to the level where we simply do not have enough intelligent people to run a modern society.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

Ice melting with increased temperature is a loose correlation?
Its ridiculous to say that global warming is not caused by humans. You could argue that humans only cause a small part of it, but to say that increased greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere by humans has no effect on temperature is false.

Nope, i just believe in mens ability to destroy. In the 1960s we made a 100 megaton nuke, imagine what we could do these days.

Yeah, but despite what the movies show that's not going to make any difference to a really big asteroid, and we have no delivery mechanism to actualy do anything much to a big asteroid if we found one coming our way tomorrow.
It's unlikely to happen, but if it did we're sitting ducks right now technologically. The best bet would be to go the other way and focus on surviving the impact if possible.
Still, I don't doubt we'd fire a few 'nukes at it just in case - why not after all? Might as well get to use the buggers even if it did no good.
The tougher one would be some form of massive local supernova event or the like, where Earth is simply enveloped in a huge shockwave of radiation and other destructive elements. Bo real defense against that but try and survive, but that would be a toughie due to the potential for prolonged radiation damage across the entire planet. The Earth and life would survive long term, but we might not.
Sheesh, this is depressing! Now I want a drink and a bubbly blonde on my arm to console me!
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

How about no significant and measurable effect?
