Sounds like a long time but it is not really. This in an interesting article about our planet and what scientist found that will affect life in Earth by 2050. Looks like science fiction but i guess is real.. Researchers has showed evidence in this report.

I didn't want to check the link but I just did - very sobering stuff ..... tigers , elephants , fossil fuels , climate shift , I do worry about our kids are they going to be able to have their's???? .... are we going to have a one-child China policy? .... lots of questions for the globe very soon.

If half of what they say (greenies, Green Peace, WWF, Sierra Club, UN, ICCC) was true, it's too damn late anyway.
Don't blame the citizenry though. They are just forced to buy what the multinationals throw at them.
We could have ended our dependancy on oil and other dirty fuels decades ago but there is very little profit in doing that.
What happened to the "Sarich Orbital Engine"?? Half the weight, half the fuel consumption and twice the horsepower.
The multinationals made him an offer he could not refuse.
Surrender the technology, cop the millions and go play with something else,....OR......DIE!!
Not a hard decision to make.
"They are just forced to buy what the multinationals throw at them." - No one is forcing you to buy anything. If you want to support local manufacture then let yor actions do the talking. Buy locally manufatured boards and sails, cars, televisions, clothes etc.
"We could have ended our dependancy on oil and other dirty fuels decades ago but there is very little profit in doing that."
We could have - but didnt. Therefore we continue to contribute to the profitmaking. Is that their issue or ours?
"What happened to the "Sarich Orbital Engine"?? "
It was rubbish. There was only ever a prototype that was never tested under load. It never actually produced "twice the horsepower" - that was marketing spin. Almost half a billion dollars was spent (if you believe that) developing it and it was an abject failure.
What was better was that he actually spent other peoples money (BHP etc) doing the research and development. He actually lost very little of his own money.
I agree - he is a smart man, but the engine was still rubbbish.
IN THE YEAR 2525
Written & performed in 1969.
One hit wonder, went to No 1 in USA, UK, Oz etc
