future of city living snapshot 141016 evening


This story speaks volumes.  Where did the virus come from, obviously introduced, or, is it now creating havoc in a new landscape thanks to human caused climate chaos (HCCC)?
 
The unraveling of the interconnected web of chemistry and physics known as life on Earth will be well documented, even as we eat all of the available protein production of the planet within 20 years.  
Humans already weigh more than all wild prey animals on the planet.  

How does the top predator maintain that ratio?  Not in nature it won't!

But since we converted 30% of the world's non-ice covered land surface to livestock production, no problema, as long as the cheap energy holds up...thank you natural gas, just a false choice, and so palatable, since it's low price has nothing to do with it's VALUE or it's TRUE COST.

It's another very much convenient (ostrich like) reason for no one to pay the true cost of carbon pollution.

If we were charged the true costs, no one would be driving in a car alone.  Period

data published in Science indicate more than three quarters of the world's 31 large carnivore species are in decline and that 17 species occupied less than half of their historical distributions.

A study released earlier this year showed Australia's mammal extinction rate was the highest in the world, with more than 10 percent of species wiped out since Europeans settled the country two centuries ago.

WASP 3D House Printer!



Dear Thinkenstein: 

They're DOING IT DUDE!  

Termite House Printer!!!

You should create one with nylon and cement as the ingredients...Have it disgorge the rebar along the way, or would you need it at all, it could be really thin and strong!!
