the end of things

if you have about 1.7 hours or so, the visually un-stunning ppt presentation at the following link will walk you through why we're all fucked in the next couple of decades. the presentation is broken up into 19 "lessons," with the first few dwelling on some points you probably know quite well. but i promise that if you hang in there, it builds to a fairly convincing and horrifying conclusion.


pony i'm sure is already well-stocked for the apocalypse. can the rest of you say the same?

I'm half way through. It's pretty interesting, and I'm bracing myself for the sales pitch which will safe my life.

there isn't one. at least not yet. the final chapter, called "What Should I Do" or something, is not yet complete, hilariously.

The author is likely waiting for some more buzz before he launches his sales pitch as chapter 20. The message board patrons on that site are already clamouring for it.

maybe. but dammit, just cuz a fella wants to make a little money on his labor doesn't mean the data/conclusions are incorrect or even suspect.

Oh, absolutely! I agree.
