<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1919026, member: 15199&quot;]Typically humans view things in respect to their life span. Back when 31 was the average global life span ( 1900) , people in the US viewed their life enjoyment level as better than now with medical advances, over-population,and other global problems producing increasing life spans, even as we over populate and damage the environment. Without antibiotics, I would have died in 1900 if I was alive then, as would millions more in the wars later that were treated either surgically or drugs. </p><p><br /></p><p>The will always be catastrophic events, both on a local scale and a planet scale. Local events <u>may</u> be limited by money and resources, but world wide many will not. If one doesn&#039;t have relatives in the Philippines, you have probably forgotten about the damage and lives lost from this years Super typhoon Haiyan, but the ones affected have not. No amount of stored gold or cash could have prevented it from happening.&nbsp; Global catastrophes such as asteroids, super volcanoes , such as Yellowstone or Italy, when they erupt will kill millions and affect the whole world with a &#039;volcano winter&#039; for several years. I personally hope all of my family has passed peacefully before humans face a real &#039;bad event&#039;.&nbsp; Humans gone, will give other organisms&nbsp; a chance to improve life <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
