"The unwashed masses are like sheep which we educated ones have a duty--nay, a burden to enlighten. Let us cry out so all and sundry may understand: THE SKY IS FALLING. THE SKY IS FALLING! SAVE YOURSELF! (SAVE OURSELVES.) OH! HELP... HELP!"

Eratosthenes first measured the circumference of the earth from the shadows cast by the sun. Today, humanity's fitness to survive will be measured by our ability to conquer that same thermonuclear fusion that casts those shadows. Thus, Prometheus will truly be unbound.

As the ozone layer continues to expand due to wanton use of fossil fuels; the density of the upper atmosphere deteriorates. Thus leaving the the earth at greater risk of meteoric bombardment.
ReplyDeleteOur atmosphere is the only protection against this. This past winter and spring and the threat of massive water shortages, merely scratches the surface. As the land dries up, we may be looking at serious geologic upheavals, such as cracks and fissures forming, once fertile areas becoming "dust-bowl's" like in the late '20s and 30s. That's enough said for now. Time will tell.
