Atrocities hit the nail on the head right off: Overpopulation!

If we had only 1 billion on the planet instead of 7 billion, 95% of the problems mentioned would disappear. There's a trade off of course. Fewer geniuses, fewer inovations and discoveries; you can't have it all!

quote: I don't understand why Atrocities thinks that loss of open wilderness for hunting or moto-cross is any indicator of a 'big threat' to mankind in general.

It's not a threat it's a symptom. Of both overpopulation and erosion of freedom.

Yep, country music will do it for sure.

PLastics can be made from other resources than oil.
Corn and other organics has been used successfully, but to be able to nake the variation of pLastics that we get from petroleum will take lots of research,as the oild based pLastics has been around and developed longer.

Don't forget Super Volcanoes

Or Mega Tsunamis

Of course I could be hit by a bus tomorrow crossing the street.

Lets see no one have mentioned the Earth's sun dieing out or going nova yet.

Deadly alien viruses brought to earth by meteorites. (Andromeda Strain)

And don't forget the monster black hole in the middle of the Galaxy that will eventually swallow all of the milky way.

I guess that means that we are all going to die.

Ok, I just couldn't resist. I normally resist posting anything political (and I didn't actually see the news conference) but this snippet on it just tickles me (in a scary way):

"Toward the end of the news conference, Bush was asked what lessons he had taken away from events since the Sept. 11 attacks. He stopped, shook his head, looked quizzical and then came up empty, although it was the kind of question he must have been told to prepare for. "I'm sure something will pop into my head here in the midst of this press conference, all the pressure of trying to come up with an answer," he said. "But it hasn't yet.""
