Greatest Threats Facing The World...

10 greatest threats facing the world in 2014

...there's quite a few lists...



..usually at the top... and while terrorism is without question a most grave threat.. throughout history it has continually existed in numerous forms.. and it shall always continue to do so..
..we could weather its' storm, and that of all others, as history has proven time and again..

...but by a margin so enormous it cannot begin to be measured.. is the threat of.. 
...'the continued use of fossil fuels' ... and ultimately the resulting catastrophic climate disruption...

..for once the planet is despoiled to such a hostile environment.. it threatens most all existing species.. and it leaves us no way out...

..at some point in the future, we might have been able to relocate a portion of our population to another more hospitable world... but we've pretty much run out of time for such a complex escape..

... and so ... we continue on our present path to 'whatever'.. 
... and try and make the best of what is surely to be a formidable and most difficult future for all of civilization...
