"U.N. Report: Extreme Threats On Horizon"

The U.N. issued dire warnings in a new report released Wednesday at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva.

How dire are they? The report listed a wide variety of threats that will kill us if we don't watch out, and states: "Increasingly complex, growing and related risks, from global warming, pollution, earthquakes, epidemics, and droughts will threaten human survival if left to escalate."

"Extreme weather events have doubled over the last 20 years," said Mami Mizutori, special representative of the U.N Secretary-General for Disaster Relief Reduction.

"If we continue living in this way, engaging with each other and the planet in the way we do, then our very survival is in doubt," she said.

Not everyone is taking this news laying down (or "engaging" with each other, apparently). Reuters reports on "a growing movement of women and young people who have vowed not to have families out of concern about a looming climate change crisis."

According to Reuters, "German schoolteacher Verena Brunschweiger decided shortly after her marriage not to have children--not because she did not want them but because she felt she could not justify the climate damage caused by adding to the planet's population."

"We really thought long and hard about this," Brunschweiger said. "Eventually the environment was the most important factor to me."

Climate activists have set up a global campaign group dubbed Birthstrike for those who have vowed not to have children due to the "severity of the ecological crisis."

"Having fewer children is by far the most effective way to reduce our carbon footprint," advocates claim. But are they opening a new can of worms with problems of its own?

A new government report released Wednesday says U.S. birth rates have reached record lows, leading to the fewest babies in 32 years. Meaning? "The current generation isn't making enough babies to replace itself," the report warned.

H-m-m-m. Doomed if you do--Doomed if you don't.

A wise man once said: "We are seeing a cooling trend. High above Earth's surface, near the edge of space, our atmosphere is losing heat energy. If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold." -- Martin Mlynczak, NASA Research Center

Jesus said, "Nations and kingdoms will proclaim war against each other. There will be great earthquakes, and there will be famines and epidemics in many lands, and there will be terrifying things and great miraculous signs in the heavens. But before all this occurs, there will be a time of great persecution" (Luke 21:10-12).
