WE MAY have just 82 years to avert disaster, save our planet and ensure the human species lives on, according to this mathematician.

A MASS extinction which wipes out humanity will be underway by the year 2100, scientists have claimed.

With the present aggressive leadership of the world's nations I think it unlikely the human race will even get to 2100.
They strut around like arrogant peacocks with no intention of making it a better or safer place.

All this fear mongering. Of course the world will be around in 2100. Scientists have been screaming global warming since the 1800s and we're still here.

Potentially a historic moment that just 2 guys, no matter how smart they are, could determine the fate of billion human lives!

Historic indeed!

Below shows is the impact/power of only one slap! Not nuclear bomb!

Bouazizi's family claims he was publicly humiliated, that a 45-year-old female municipal official, Faida Hamdi,[2][10][15] slapped him in the face, spat at him, confiscated his electronic weighing scales, and tossed aside his produce cart.[19] It was also stated that she made a slur against his deceased father.[17][19] Bouazizi's family says her sex made his humiliation worse.[10][22

Many Arabs in the Middle East and North Africa regard Bouazizi as a hero and inspiration.[44][45] He is credited with galvanising the frustrations of the region's youth against their governments into the mass demonstrations, revolts, and revolutions that have become known as the Arab Spring.[46] One year on, Tunisian writer and academic Larbi Sadiki asserted that Bouazizi's self-immolation "changed the course of Arab political history," achieving the "breakthrough in the fight against autocracy." However, he also wrote it would take years before the act and the subsequent chain of events that followed were "profoundly grasped by historians and social scientists."[47]

38 million pieces of plastic waste found on uninhabited South Pacific island

Henderson Island, part of the Pitcairn group, is covered by 18 tonnes of plastic – the highest density of anthropogenic debris recorded anywhere in the world

There is an urgent need to get rid of the people and their weapons who solely have the power to destroy this planet. Such power should be safely guarded or destroyed.
Democracy and the will of the people just might accomplish this.
I would like the world's leaders to help clean up the planet and other urgent tasks. Not strut about shouting insults !!

New Order Indefinitely Bars Almost All Travel From Seven Countries

By MICHAEL D. SHEARSEPT. 24, 2017

Mr. Trump’s original travel ban caused turmoil at airports in January and set off a furious legal challenge to the president’s authority. It was followed in March by a revised ban, which expired on Sunday even as the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments about its constitutionality on Oct. 10. The new order — Chad, North Korea and Venezuela are new to the list of affected countries and Sudan has been dropped — will take effect Oct. 18.

Of those 7 countries I think I am right in saying NOT one person from those countries has been convicted of terrorist offences. In fact the country of Saudi Arabia has so far supplied the most convicted terrorists including 9/11.
But as we all should know Trump has business interests there and so they are not on the list.
Dump is running the USA blatantly to fill his own pockets !!

I would think (already for some time) many of the previous extreme acts / cases related to Muslims background were also related to mental health issues caused by their old living environment - mainly wars, in their native countries before migrating to western countries.

Really hard and hurtful for them inside.

White killers are often described as “lone wolves” with mental health issues.

Just hours after the mass shooting in Vegas, the media was calling Paddock a “lone wolf.” Yet there are clear disparities in who receives this label: After Muslim people commit acts of violence, critics often point to Islam as the root of the problem, and when black people are involved in shootings, they point to the myth of ”black-on-black crime.”
