The turbulent future of the planet - Will humanity survive?

How Earthquakes and Volcanoes Reveal the Beating Heart Smithsonian Magazine

America is the most powerful country on the planet, but also the most dangerous in terms of geological risks.

The time when the great Californian earthquake could start is unknown and unpredictable, but it is expected that the state of California will be devastated by an earthquake caused by the San Andreas fault. Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco could be buried or sunk.

Over the next 100 years, due to rising ocean levels caused by melting glaciers at the North Pole, the east coast of the United States could be flooded, including coastal cities such as New York, Boston, Baltimore, and Miami could be submerged. so building a dam around a city like New York would be as high a priority as the wall with Mexico. It is also expected that following climate change, tornadoes, and hurricanes will become more frequent, even constant, as whole regions. in America, including coastal areas, could become uninhabitable.

The Yellowstone supervolcano in Wyoming could erupt in the next thousand years, with the last eruption taking place 630,000 years ago. The eruption of this supervolcano could be fatal to America because the eruption is the equivalent of thousands of nuclear bombs, so hundreds of thousands of Americans in the vicinity of the volcano could be killed instantly. Volcanic ash will cover 500 miles in the first phase, then spread around the globe, resulting in a volcanic winter that will last several years.

Tens of millions of Americans will die, plus tens of millions more people worldwide due to the collapse of the global economy and compromised crops. Recovery could take decades.

Desertification is another major threat that could affect Mexico and South American states like Texas, with the risk of a drinking water crisis, which will aggravate uncontrollable immigration, while Canada and North American states are increasingly threatened by winters. cold and snowy, covered by a small local ice age.

Europe is not doing well either, given that the climate tends to become tropical, with summers becoming increasingly dry and hot, which would mean an increase in cases of malaria and other epidemics, as well as the disappearance of plant and animal species adapted to the temperate environment.


Rising ocean and sea levels could lead to the fragmentation of coastal states such as Italy, Greece, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, which could be completely covered by water.

In Asian countries such as India and Iraq, but also in Africa, desertification will wreak havoc and the drinking water crisis, so uncontrollable mass immigration, escalating terrorism and local resource wars will become serious threats to the existence of the European Union that will not be able to cope.

In Italy, the imminent eruption of Vesuvius could lead to the destruction of the city of Naples, and half of Europe could be covered by a cloud of volcanic ash so that crops will be destroyed and the air transport system will be grounded. Indeed, Europe will be paralyzed for many years.

The planet's magnetic field has decreased in intensity for some time !

 Solar wind magnetic field interacts the Earth's magnetic field ResearchGate

Reading some articles about the earth's magnetic field, I saw that they say that this field has decreased in intensity for some time. As such, we are more exposed than ever to radiation or particles.

But can we have a solution to this problem? Of course, it is an extremely easy one, which I think you can easily guess. I would suggest climbing with the help of satellite rockets, some pieces of special windows or something like that, which we let float at a certain altitude among the remains of disused satellites, whose role would be to reduce the intensity of the waves and stop particles to advance into the atmosphere. Obviously it would take quite a few rockets and tons of such windows launched above the earth's atmosphere.

But in the end it would be enough to reduce the dangerous radiation. How will we collect them if the radiation intensity decreases for a long time?  We would make a metal edge for them that will be connected to a magnet that walks through space collecting all these things and holding them like that until they will need to be released and scattered again.

First Artificial Beef steak was produced in Israel. The "Future Food" is obtained from only a few cells extracted from a living animal

Can Cultured Meat Save the Planet? - leapsmag

"The meat"of the future comes from the laboratory, not from the slaughterhouse.
An Israeli company boasts that it produced the first artificial beef steak. The strips were grown in the laboratory, from cells harvested from live animals, without harming them and without polluting the environment. Artificial meat could reach gallantry in 3-4 years.

The mission of the chef in the pictures is a historical one - he cooks the first beefsteak raised in the laboratory. He first prepares his vegetables for the garnish and sauces. Then comes the turn of the resistance piece - the meat fresh out of the lab. It is cooked like any classic piece of meat.

"This meat looks great and has the texture of classic steak," says Amir Ilan, chef.

The strips of meat shown are the size of a card and are only 5 millimeters thick. Despite its small size, such a delicacy comes at a price

 - $ 50 artificial strip.

Artificial meat is obtained from only a few cells extracted from a living animal, without causing pain. The cells are nourished and grown to produce muscle tissue.

"Meat is a complex tissue. This realization includes several types of cells, which we find in different pieces of classic meat, raised together, independently of an animal, to form a 3D structure similar to meat, but using much safer, sustainable and ethical methods. "Says Didier Toubia, executive director of Aleph Farms.

Those who have tasted what could be the meat of the future, say that the taste is very close to the classic one. And if he hadn't known in advance what they had for dinner, he probably wouldn't have realized it wasn't a classic steak.

The problem of food will be ensured in this way in the future. If it has succeeded with beef, it will succeed with fish, pork, poultry. When it comes to mass production, the price of these products will fall significantly.
