Seems to be a very pessimistic thread this. Throughout mankinds history it has been a very harsh, violent and destructive journey. However today i belive there are more people, overall, who are living in peace with relative happiness and health than there evr has been before.

Yes there are areas of intense viloence and places that have imense suffering and hardship but as long as there are places that people can live in, that are free from major pain and strife, it leaves them able to help those who are more misfortunate than themselves. This can only help the situation.

The polar ice caps melting are a major problem that face are generation. The penguins won't have anywhere to live

Only if they melt completly. But if there is too much fresh water pumped into the sea can trigger off a slow down or complete shut down and reversal of the deep sea currents that carry warmer water around the oceans and seas. This can result in temperature drops which can trigger off severe winters and an increase in the ice caps.

Welcome to the world of enviromental science! First it was global cooling, then they realised no one cared enough if it got colder, so now it's global warming.

Silly enviromentalists

I think one thing we (mankind) has to bear in mind is that we have been around for an insignificant amount of time. The planet has cooled down and warmed up countless times in its history and it will continue to do so in the future. It is a natural cycle that to helps to re-shape, re-populate and allow the planet to try out new ways of growing life, new ways to muck around with evolution, new ways to muck arouind with landscape design.
Understandable we feel a bit worried about the consequences of such cooling and warming as it is something we haven't had to experience in our recent (modern man) history. We have luckily fallen into an unaturally quiet time geologically speaking which has allowed us to thrive in the way we have. It is obvious to me that this period of calmness can't and won't last for ever.
We, like countless other species, will have to learn to adapt to our changing circumstances as and when they happen.
If not..well we will just join the long list of evolutionary dead ends.

Absolutely, the earth has never been consistent in its atmosphere, temperature, or climate; and it shouldn't.

well it will end in about 5 to 7 billion years or so, when the sun starts its dying process
Providing it doesn't get smashed by an impacting chunk of rock before then

Death sentence!On a electrical chair up to me!

say what?

It is a difficult decision to take anothers life but for people who are sentinced for life i say just get rid of them. The legal issues allow for alot of appeals and such to be had because god forbid we kill the wrong person. I see it like this if you have life in jail they were sure beyond a reasonable doubt that you did something outragous. We are a society that is rather forgiving, but evidence shows that people who rape will rape when they get out of jail. We have to be more sure with our punishments, we have such convictions over seas.

There is the option of in jail service. Make the criminals work for their food, hell the rest of us are. Problems are that the criminals get a hold of a hammer and quite litterally boom someone gets hurt. I say people who are in long term sentances should be made to work. They dont work then they loose privledges TV, daily showers whatever they get. The life in jail criminals should be killed if they dont work.

Its harsh but i dont want to pay for some criminal to watch tv when im busting my ass to pay the bills (part of them for him to live).

moonrock7 , well you have mentioned a good point.

Thats terrable

Even if you rape, kill, steal, when you're put in jail you are still a person. And as a person you must be treated and considered.
Criminals still have their right to enjoy their lives.

...what
once you break a law and go to jail your lose all your liberties... and you are not supposed to enjoy your life, thats the whole point of being put in jail, so you can hate that life and wait to get out and then behave good so you dont go back...
