#FFIGROUP MEDIA #EXCLUSIVE:There is Little #Time Left - Do the #Math!

 

HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE?

It is so strange that the answer to our demise comes from a straight-forward overall calculation that seems so simple because the equation consists of just three key primary factors that can be used to theoretically calculate our species expected long term existence in any environment - where there are determinable finite resource inventories and constraints; big or small - including the resource inventories of our whole planet.

The theoretical calculation goes roughly like this - there are A current quantities of total combined energy and material resource units available to use for survival on this planet; there are B probable quantities of people units existing in an annual time period going forward, and they will each in turn consume C total resource units per capita annually. Then just divide A total resource units available by B times C (= total of expected annual consumption of resource units of all people) to calculate D - and the answer then tells us what the probable expected duration or the number of years that the species can roughly expect the resources to last and provide for its survival.

Expected Time Remaining Formula

D = A\ ( B x C)

To illustrate; suppose there are 100 million combined energy and material resource units available for consumption from an environment and 10,000 people exist there and they consume 100 resource units annually. Therefore, every year 1 million resource units are consumed. The equation calculates that there is roughly 100 years left if this people/consumption pattern is continued under the constraints and numeric inventories of this environment.

INDUSTRIAL EXPERIMENT FINAL CURTAIN

Admittedly, this result is a ballpark figure, but it is still close enough to draw our attention to the critical metrics we need to manage and their resultant and variable timelines. Moreover, based on our general knowledge of energy and material resource inventories - we can reasonably assert that we don't have thousands or even hundreds of years left to manage these factors and get the equation right. Time is quickly running out...

To add even a little more acceleration to the mathematically expected outcomes - also apply exponential growth laws to the B and C factors or inversely to the A factor and you dramatically and quickly reduce the total resources available for consumption and thus the amount of survival time remaining.

To sum up - you can never defeat the combined numerical laws of mathematics and physics - I guess Moses left the tablets with these commandments behind somewhere on the old hill. Yet, from the beginning we were taught by secular doctrines that we are playing a positive sum economic game with a guiding mantra of infinite growth that is authoritative and unquestionable - when the true reality is we were actually engaged in a negative finite sum game rapidly using up the planet's scarce resources - that is consequently now heading towards a terrible conclusion.

More American Kids Poorer, YET - Stock Markets Boomed? & More

 There's a black man with a black cat

Livin' in a black neighborhood
He's got an interstate runnin' through his front yard
You know he thinks that he's got it so good

And there's a woman in the kitchen
Cleanin' up the evenin' slop
And he looks at her and says, "Hey darlin'
I can remember when you could stop a clock"

There's a young man in a T-shirt
Listenin' to a rockin' rollin' station
He's got greasy hair, greasy smile
He says, "Lord this must be my destination"

Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me
Ain't that America, we're somethin' to see, baby
Ain't that America, the home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me

'Cause they told me when I was younger
"Boy you're gonna be President"
But just like everything else those old crazy dreams
Kinda came and went

Basic Facts About Low-Income Children 

Children under 18 Years, 2013

Children under 18 years represent 23 percent of the population, but they comprise 33 percent of all people in poverty.1 Among all children, 44 percent live in low-income families and approximately one in every five (22 percent) live in poor families. Being a child in a low-income or poor family does not happen by chance. Parental education and employment, race/ethnicity, and other factors are associated with children experiencing economic insecurity. This fact sheet describes the demographic, socio-economic, and geographic characteristics of children and their parents. It highlights the important factors that appear to distinguish low-income and poor children from their less disadvantaged counterparts.

How many children under age 18 years in the United States live in low-income families?

Well there's people and more people
What do they know know know
Go to work in some high rise
And vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico, ooh yeah

And there's winners and there's losers
But that ain't no big deal
'Cause the simple man baby pays for the thrills
The bills, the pills that kill

44 percent – 31.8 million – live in low-income families. There are more than 72 million childen under age 18 years in the United States.

• 22 percent – 15.8 million – live in poor families

Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me
Ain't that America, we're somethin' to see, 

baby
Ain't that America, the home of the free
Little pink houses for you and me???

More U.S. Children Live In Poverty Now Than During the Recession

In mid-September 2010, almost exactly two years to the date since the monumental collapse of Lehman Brothers, the New York Times publisheda bleak statistic: the ongoing Great Recession had driven the U.S. poverty rates to their highest in a decade and a half.

Five years of fitful economic recovery have not yet bettered this situation. According to a new report from the Annie E. Casey Foundation, more than one in five American children, about 22%, were living in poverty in 2013. Data for 2014 are not yet available, but the report anticipates that the child poverty rate remains at an “unacceptably high [level].”The figure for 2008 was 18%.

Oh, but ain't that America, for you and me

Ain't that America, we're somethin' to see, baby
Ain't that America, the home of the free

Why America is Falling Behind the Rest of the World

12 signs of the decline of the U.S.A.

America is declining, in large and important measures, yet policymakers aren’t paying attention. So argues a new academic paper, pulling together previously published data.

Consider this:

• America’s child poverty levels are worse than in any developed country anywhere, including Greece, devastated by a euro crisis, and eastern European nations such as Poland, Lithuania and Estonia.
• Median adult wealth in the US ($39,000) is 27th globally, putting it behind Cyprus, Taiwan, and Ireland.
• Even when “life satisfaction” is measured, America ranks #12, behind Israel, Sweden and Australia.

Ocean Warming Unstoppable, Pope Fights Capitalism? & More

Global Digest's Comments

Many folks incorporate the warming of the oceans into climatic warming,, yet while there are certain inter-relationships they both have unique conditions that may cause them to act in separate ways. 

In other words, if we could fix the climate, it does not mean that we will also fix the oceans and its issues including  warming, acidification, and rapid life-form extinctions. The feedback loops in each of these cases appear to be marching to their own tunes.

Meanwhile,,the Vatican should be a little more careful with its messages  as history pictures and evidences  their concept and prior support of a - New World Order  - in an awful way  that says "people in glass houses should not throw stones".  In the  end,, you would have to be nuts to trust these theists and their lunatic rantings - for their true colors are irrefutable -- when push, comes to shove! 

Warming of oceans is now unstoppable

Seas will continue to warm for centuries even if manmade greenhouse gas emissions were frozen at today’s levels, after record temperatures last year, bringing additional sea-level rise, and raising the risks of severe storms

South Florida’s drought deepens 

South Florida’s rainy season typically kicks in around June with the start of the hurricane season. But this year, following a dry spring, just over six inches has fallen across a 16-county region, more than two inches below average. July arrived with brutal heat, but little seasonal afternoon rain. Rainfall in Broward was off by more than eight inches. Miami-Dade was down seven inches.
