The future...

Ever seen Mad Max? See the picture below? ...then I think you know where I'm going with this already

Not many people survive the culture shock, let alone the practicalities of living without the National Grid so, WHEN all the planet's resources have been totally squandered, society collapses - just like the Roman Empire but even more spectacularly.

Suddenly the survivors of these embittered times realise that the GREED and SELFISHNESS of our SHORTSIGHTED World Leaders, both political and financial varieties - who've never heard of the word "sustainable" that included a time span longer than their own life times - who could have chosen a better way. Why Should They have?
We vote for/buy stuff that is in OUR best interest. People-Power has never been so lame - We're all CONSUMER's. We're driving our MP's and CEO's to kill planet Earth because we MUSTHAVE the latest, biggest, flashiest, most trendiest consumable we can afford - which IS OUR FAULT! Millions of us - like a single virus to die for!

China's next in this Mass-Geo-Hypnosis, trapped in their own race to become rich. Surely the Death-Nail for us all. Why can't we all want to be like Sweden who want to be fossil fuel free by 2020. Bio-fuels, HEP, Solar, Wind, Recycling, Tidal SUSTAINABLE ENERGIES all WORK.

We just have to WANT IT!
(for example, I just heard that if we used the Severn Estuary to generate tidal powered electricity it could provide up to 10% of the UK's total energy needs! Well I know one thing for sure, I WANT IT!)

So, the Western World/America and China are blamed. Climate change and drought become irreversible whilst, ironically, coal, oil then gas run dry about the same time (2020-2030). The planet has been exhausted but the Mighty must survive. Water is what the scholars predict, will be what the next war will be about. Without the man power to protect it there is only one option left...

...scarce resources mean WWIII ain't pretty - but don't worry - it'll all be over in a flash (just my opinion).

Few survive. Yet fewer have time to notice what's gone wrong with the climate. Radiation or Carbon dioxide from the War or Atmospheric pollution starts a Nuclear Winter or Ice Age... which finishes us all either way.

Basically the sun is blocked out, (maybe months, possibly up to 8 years)
then Oxygen becomes the ”Poor Man's Porsche“ to Carbon Dioxide. (never ending escalation)

~ [ Global Thermo Nuclear War --large amounts of smoke and soot from nuclear bombings of major cities --particles form a layer in the atmosphere --nitrogen oxides from the blasts would further deplete the ozone layer --all crops and sea plankton die ie. the food chain stops --darkness and killing frost, plus radiation remain for months/years -oh fuck!
--Rain forests shuts down. No Oxygen production
or
Pollution destroys the Ozone layer --The Greenhouse Affect escalates --CO2 wrecks atmosphere --Sun melts ice caps --Tonnes of cold water from the Polar caps disrupts ocean's currents --Ocean's currents affect weather patterns --Weather patterns cause drought in Rain forests regions all around the Equator -oh fuck!
--
Rain forests shuts down. No Oxygen production. ]

--plus the chance we get 2 for 1 . . .

No Oxygen causes constant build-up of CO2 levels, equivalent to that of the planet Venus. (98% CO2, atmosphere as dense as a river. Steel melts.) Global Warming is an understatement.
Timescale for Earth to be like Venus

Irreversible Climate Change begins...

...meanwhile
humans are wiped out. Serves us bloody right to!
The 'privileged' few live a life of luxury in their expensive bunkers only to emerge into a ghastly disfigured world where they soon die... or become a scant population of hideous mutants, burdened never to enjoy the beautiful World they once owned, and yet threw away. Only now, they just have to try to stay alive on a relic of the biggest betrayal WE COULD EVER IMAGINE.

Countries with Nuclear Weapon capability:
USA, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Isreal
(the latter: more than likely and a pretty popular target to, wouldn't you say...)
Countries suspected of Nuclear Weapon capability:
North Korea, South Africa, Iran
Countries no longer with Nuclear weapon capability (hopefully):
Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Nazi Germany, Iraq, Imperial Japan, Libya, Philippines, Poland, Romania, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan.

Got the idea YET ANYONE?
