“This is the first age that's ever paid much attention to the future, which is a little ironic since we may not have one.”
Well a lot has been said about our future and I won't be pretty repeating much of this.
Our future is just not there.Those who are now 25-30 years of age may never live to see their grandchildren.We all have to embrace death someday but I think that day is not very far away about 50 years from now.
A famous poem by Robert Frost goes like this-
Some say the world will end in fire; Some say in ice. From what I've tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice.

I am going to give 12 reasons why the Earth is doomed?-
1)More than a third of the natural world has been destroyed by humans over the past three decades.Another two-thirds will be destroyed in the next 50 years.After this how do you expect to survive?
2)Freshwater supplies have become scarce and polluted. Nations are blaming each other for food scarcity.
3) Using 1970 as a baseline year and giving it a value of 100, the index has dropped to a new low of around 65 in the space of a single generation. This Index denotes the level of pollution.
5) Between 1970 and 2002 forest cover has dwindled by 12 per cent.
6)We instead for investing in the security & welfare of our future are more interested in today's comfort cars and usage of fossil fuels.
7) We are more concerned how much the stock index fell rather than how closer we are inching towards death.
8) We instead of investing our time and money in research in reducing pollution are investing in new software for our computers and games for our iPods.
9)Most of people in U.S.A. think that pollution does not directly affect them? This shows our level of ignorance even in today's netizen world.
10)The level of seas has been continously been rising steadily since 1970 and if this continues by 2020 all coastal cities and by 2050 the whole world will be submerged.
11)Oscars are more widely seen in U.S. than any pollution-prevention programmme.
12) Instead of you doing about it you are reading this blog.
Now pep up and go and think in all the little ways that you can help your yet-to-be-born grandchildren.
