Agricoltura, Martin Rees: Can we prevent the end of the world?
agricoltura | info | prezzo | dati | produzione
A post-apocalyptic Earth, emptied of humans, seems like the stuff of science fiction TV and movies. But in this short, surprising talk, Lord Martin Rees asks us to think about our real existential risks — natural and human-made threats that could wipe out humanity. As a concerned member of the human race, he asks: What’s the worst thing that could possibly happen?

saw theelon musk video on the mars colonization project to save the world he was all about the economical benefits of reusing the rockets. so the human race is worth saving as long as it is within the budget.

Sir Martin, evolution IS happening on a technological time scale w/o qualification.
Our technology is driving us to extinction, as we watch.
Your stated faith in technofixing is a major variable causing our ongoing extinction.
Humans selected for maximum power; & tragically, we achieved maximum power with all its attendant deadly polluting CO2.
We were too clever.

TED TALKS IS A ZIONIST TOOL FOR FEAR MONGERING IS CONTROLLED THROUGH INTELLECTUAL ELITES THAT WANT TO CONTINUE TO PROFIT OFF OF FEAR MONGERING. HOLLYWOOD PARANOIA IS SO SELF-EVIDENT IN REES'S TALK, YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE IN THE PRIVATE PLANNING ROOM OF A GANG OF MAFIOSO THREATENING THE ROOM. NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND BIOWEAPONS ARE HEAVILY CONTROLLED, AND REES IS A FOOL TO NOT KNOW OTHERWISE. MORE TECHNOPHOBIA FOR YOUR INFOTAINMENT CONSUMPTION.
