Watch out, most of those airlocks have bad seals and have been known to leak.

we have been leaking radio signals into space for the past century. aliens will hear us and come to earth to eat us. they'll probably farm us like chickens and marinade us in alien teriyaki sauce for three hours before putting us on the george foreman grill.
the gulf stream ocean current is slowing and will eventually stop if the polar ice caps continue to melt. the lack of warm tropical water in the colder parts of the earth will bring a new ice age, reducing the amount of farmland globally and causing a huge famine in which billions will die.
salmon has too much mercury in it.
how's that for freaking out?

Maybe aliens float/walk among us? Invisble and such. Personally I dont think they exist, but NOBODY knows if they are out there or not. But I still dont know what to think about AREA 51 (No, not the game ffs ).dan500 wrote:

you're right, it is possible aliens don't extract energy by eating.beeng wrote:

You forgot, with China's and India's populations exploding the earth will start spinning faster and faster due to unequal weight in south east asia. As the earth rotates on the axis once south east asia starts on the downward rotation it will drastically increase in speed and likewise when it's on its upwards rotation it will slow to a crawl. Eventually the earth will stop rotating completely or something. Prepare for this now!!Krappyappy wrote:

even if neither doomsday scenario happens, there will eventually be so many humans that this planet can't hold us all.
i consider it a serious dereliction of duty on the part of all governments to not be pursuing extraplanetary colonization actively.

If all the people in the world moved to the state of Texas, each person would have about 1100 sq. ft. of land.Sgt.Gh0st wrote:

Uhhh errmm.... most rural Texans are accostomed to having a minimum of 3 ft between them and anyone else. Thats not even beginning to yak 'bout the crazies we've got out in the ranch land of deep west and slightly east Texas. I almost whimpered (Texans don't do this) when I thought of everyone on the world moving to Texas. Funny thought though. I'd be interested in how long southern hospitality would endure the pressure of being 100 ft from your neighbor, all 6,446,131,400 of 'em. I'd be even more interested in how the masses from a colder climate would react to a couple o' good dogs days of our summer.SpanktorTheGreat wrote:

World population = 6,446,131,400
Texas = 268,601 sq. mi. or 7,488,166,118,400 sq. ft.
7,488,166,118,400 divided by 6,446,131,400 = 1161.65 sq. ft.
Sure we can't all live in Texas, but this does put the whole "population explosion" thing in the proper perspective.
Ok, how about Rhode Island? We all get 6.7 sq. ft. per person.Kung Jew wrote:

Note: I ain't flamin' ya. Your post made for a funny thread in my head.

Actually the problem is not getting enough food to feed people, it's getting people to eat the damn food that is supplied to them.Krappyappy wrote:

the problem isn't housing all the people, it's feeding all of them.
it takes a lot more land than 1161 ft^2 to grow enough food to feed a man. add the fact that much of the earth's surface isn't suitable for farming, and you see the problem. we have enough room now, but that will not last forever.

well if they're hungry and there's nothing else to eat, i don't think they'll need much pursuasion. we're talking about a point in the future where the available land for food production can't keep up with the demand... even if all you had to eat was plain corn every day you'd still eat it.Burning_Monkey wrote:
