Steady incremental increases in the
somewhat distant future of global warming are not likely because its
major cause, world overpopulation, will be greatly reduced by wars,
disease, starvation and economic disruptions brought on by resources
depletion and environmental stresses. The single largest factor that has
fueled overpopulation has proven to be the failure to provide women
with equal education and rights across the globe. And since the
mentality behind this and other ills will not be remedied in time to
thwart the multiple ill effects of excess population density, we will
all be witness to the "train wreck" in slow motion that early stage
global warming was only a feverish symptom of. In short, global warming
is only the tip of the proverbial iceberg.
Note: Of course, if runaway global warming is triggered before the above happens, then Homo sapiens will have single handedly caused the Sixth Great Extinction that is the Anthropogenic Extinction.
