Content Data

This page contains data entry 61050 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

My worry is that maybe the only thing that will make people take action will be if *tens* of millions, or even *hundreds* of millions of people die, and if that's true, it might mean so many are dead that there aren't enough left to fix it.

For example, I've always heard about the ideas of blotting out our sky -- throw metallic strips into the atmosphere, covering enough to block out and/or reflect some portion of the sun's rays. I always assumed that while the idea is probably going to have terrible side-effects, it's a last-ditch effort if nobody comes up with anything else. HOWEVER, at this point in time, my bigger concern is that by the time we are motivated to do something like that, the people who can do it will be dead.

So a handful of people will live in caves at the north end of the globe, and our only option will be to try to restart civilization in thousands of years when it cools enough to migrate south.

It will probably take only a single generation (or two) to wipe out vast amounts of accumulated knowledge.
