Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.

honestly, dude - this is beyond anyone's ability to predict through science or thought. if there is any way of assessing that possibility, it should not be through fear of course, but it may be through some kind of psychic or spiritual sense or perhaps by resorting to prophesy or tea leaves - in other words, chaos is our only hope here. i am too swamped "spiritually" right now to be experience any psychic sense about this. my motivation to post about the problem(s) may as much be seen as being driven by some psychic sense, as a desire to turn around any sensed or unsensed scenario impending. i really really don't know. i think it is important for people to try to get in touch with themselves and figure out what they feel. apparently i have "failed" so far, ha ha!

I know I am calmed by doing what i can do.

I want to move to Australia.

Well, yes, I think the chance of it getting out of control is relatively high, and cause for serious concern. If that does happen, how badly it will mess up the Northern Hemisphere is not known. However, I would put it at a little less than the generally presented 85x Chernobyl mass-extinction level being presented. Even so, the result would be absolutely devastating. And the funny thing, there are worse scenarios sitting latent - as a possible mass-meltdown of USA Nukes due to an EMP/CME-caused failure of the electrical grid and large transformers. This stuff can be found via http://whentechfails.com/ and the book, "When Disaster Strikes." With the latter in mind, I would say it is highly advisable to move to the Southern Hemisphere. Seriously. This is not fear-mongering, it is common, rational sense. People don't realise how fortnate we were to elude a US/USSR nuclear holocaust. We cannot extrapolate from that luck now that we are confronted by these real scenarios, even if they could end up being less dangerous than expected, SHOULD THEY MATERIALISE.

But the probabilities of their emergence are unknowable. It rises, however, as Nukes age. Or as mere fortunate chance passes, day-to-day.

Thank you for inspiring me to make a definitive comment on this. Very important.

definitely!

and soon it will be a tropical paradise yay!

seriously, i was going to say that that really would be the best place to be - but then i remembered how the ant/arctic are huge DUST attractors
