The number of inhabitants is destined to face a reduction. In the next decades we will relocate coastal population to higher lands. Millions will migrate. Today, one billion people do not have food, shelter, nor security. In 2050 about three billion people will be unprotected, under no roof. These projections are conservative and from reliable non-profit private organizations. This is the real world that you already watch on TV and the Internet. Like cabbages, those initially not affected won't react. Our ingenuous believes in endless Earth's resources and its capacity to compensate pollution has destroyed the environment and its biodiversity, breaking ecological and food chains. We became not just the dominant species, but the one that is precipitating life extinction on Earth. Genetically, our conscience and sense of time give us the impression that things happen slowly, and we tend to survive rather than to change, but civilisation as we knew is ending and leading into cyber extensions, mere parasite systems and as such, they affect our humanistic perception, way of reasoning and understanding (of biological nature). This includes our emotional response to life itself, based on education, reasoning and morality (of cultural nature). These issues were pointed by the great Aristotle 1.300 years ago in his amazing "Politics". Keeping his discernments alive will help us to re-balance our western Civilization. At this point, we cannot stop the effect of Habitat Change: Earth's inertia will project it for thousand of years. We have to adapt to a new scenario. Massive migrations existed since ever, but the current ones from North Africa and the Middle-East are related to overpopulation, war and food crisis. From now on we must stop polluting. Every time we leave home we must walk, ride a bike or take a train. It is imperative to choose local food, reject plastic packaging and avoid cars or buses, they are pernicious. (page 4 of 5)
