ah, so the evidence which convinced you that "the
average temperature on Earth has remained steady
or slowly declined during the past decade"

I would venture to say that there are some tribes and communities that
would hardly notice the demise of civilization via economic collapse.
A major cooling would possibly benefit some places.

With the simple exception that humans are MOBILE, and some people, if it
came to it, would try to move in on the areas inhabited by the [tribe of
choice]. The people coming might well have the numbers, weapon
superiority, and desperation to at least cause a dent in the knowledge
bank of the tribe.

Things will get very ugly under such circumstances, and it will be a
crapshoot as to what genes are lucky enough to survive (as it has always
been).

Much less so these days without petroleum fuels.
People can travel long distances on foot.

I'm sure of that. But at a much more slower pace, with much less luggage.
So you tell me, are they carying tons of guns and ammo, or food to eat on
their quest to "cause a dent" in some third world country for reasons yet to
be known.

How much pain are they feeling "at the pump" when they still get around
on foot, a cart pulled by oxen, etc. How difficult will their lives be
when the world's electrical grid goes dark, since they live without
electricity and in the dark their whole lives.
When EVERYONE is desperate, things will not be quite as they are today...

Not in rural Burkina Faso. They'll not be as desperate as say, you will be.

Yeah, "Wow, there's no oil or electricity here,
let's go to Sub-Africa to have a better life."
Where did you get that?

From you.

You're the one who proposed that massive groups of armed men,
women and children wil desend upon places that can (because they do) survive
on nothing.

Are you of the opinion that there are only rural tribes in Africa. How
charmingly naive.

Yet, you proclaimed that:

on the areas inhabited by the [tribe of choice]. The

superiority, and desperation to at least cause a dent

Are you of the opinion that there are only rural unarmed, inept at
protecting themselves, tribes in Africa?

Seem as if you believe that someone who hasn't the food to ewat will carry
heavy weaponry across water - on foot - to do battle with people who have
been surviving on their lands for decades without running water in some
cases.

Look up exactly WHEN the area became "fertile."





Apparently, according to you, shortly after someone brought a gallon of gas
out west.

But the fact remains, you can take 600,000 cubic feet of natural gas to both
poles of the earth and not have anything close to fertile soil for crops.

And the fact remains that 100 billion cubic feet of natural gas can't make a
flower grow in the desert sands.

In fact, gas is pretty far down the list of things necessary to grow crops.

Water, nutrients, oxygen, and a seed are necessary.

Soil would be oh so
helpful, but you can grow plants in almost anything, even a sponge, plastic
mulch, and other synthetic fibers. Gas - petroleum gas - isn't on the list
of necessary things.

So, why was it that you predicted armed groups of people would walk across
water to invade some third world country again?

If you say so. What happens when unprecedented things happen are
unprecedented. However, if you look at similar events throughout
history, you don't see people moving into the rainforests and jungles
to live. They tend to stay pretty much where they are familiar with
their surroundings until the end.

Some do, some are more adventurous.

Who said anything about traveling TO a third world country?

Yes, I said that.

Are you this lazy in your job, too?
