Global Extinction is Fun! ( url= Carbon and Mass Extinctions )
It's a dead baby cthulhu. Coincidence?

:(

The American leadership cast is saying our Planet’s historical ecological
balance has become disrupted by pollution. This will disrupt food
production and may induce large-scale starvation events. In anticipation
of social upheaval and sad times…
Let us look to the future for guidance, and begin constructing a “Logan’s Run Dome” now:

Much like the economic crisis, I'm afraid the perpetrators will survive the apocalypse of their own making.
Yay, that's how it always seems to work. And, now that the Insurance
Company's are beginning to weigh in, the big money will start protecting
itself.

"This past week, Farmers Insurance Co., a unit of the Zurich Insurance
Co., filed suit against the city of Chicago for its alleged failure to
prevent flood-related damages that it says are associated with climate
change."

Humanity will absolutely go extinct. It's just a question of time.
Thankfully, transient is not equivalent to valueless. :)

I don't want Earth to be destroyed. All my stuff is here.
There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
But as late as yesterday you said nothing was planned or decided yet, and it was too early to try to influence the process!
What should we do, reduce the number of humans?
Ask for volunteers.
There is a very easy solution to world hunger, over population, and class struggles. Eat the poor.

Ah, the 'Jonathan Swift' approach.
What a superbly gifted writer he was, to elevate trolling to such an art form.

Trolling is not satire - except when you do it Bob :-)
Indeed. But the trivial solution to the problem of how to end human suffering is not the one we're looking for.

Well we could start by eliminating all the black magic love specialists.
*feels something bounce off her head carapace*
Come on! You aren't even trying now. I mean, the trivial solution of not having any humans. I assume that is not the idea here?
This planet will die. That is inevitable. Unless mankind, in whatever forms it is at the time, reaches for new worlds, in time, all things associated with this idealization of "humanity" will disappear.
Our future, not withstanding those theories of such things as "intelligence singularities" lies out among the cosmos, on new worlds and made possible by the light of stars we have not even named.
...all of which just pushes out the problem a little further. Eventually, the hydrogen will be used up, and all the stars will die. Again, just a question of time.
Have a nice day. ;-)
A few billion years is enough to hold quite a bit of fun, ya know?
If we're going by the original novel instead of the crappy movie, than the death age was twenty-one..

*gasp*
Retract that, sir.
Well, that might not be true. We see that the hydrogen is used up, in the heart of stars, and in the process heavier elements are formed, but then another process takes places where the gravity of the heavier elements overcomes the nuclear forces and creates new "big bangs" and the whole process begins again. It is theorized that each black hole is actually another universe, part of the "multi-verse" theory. In this ideal, everything that is, is, and everything that we can observe is only a fluctuation in the everything that is.
Which is definitely beyond my comprehension. :)
But as doom and gloom as I sound, my point is that something doesn't have to exist forever to be important (as opposed to what is implied by "all this work for nothing" in the thread title). Someday we'll all be gone, but so what? Cheer up, because the things we do now matter in every meaningful sense of the word.

Did you see that movie After the Dark (2014)?

To be honest, I would be more concerned about finding a way to reverse desertification. We don't find a way, then reducing carbon won't matter; global climate collapse happens anyway, most life dies anyway, humanity dies anyway, and we just wasted our time and resources.
