  1. In the OP afterlife is mentioned. It seems extremely unlikely. The cosmological model for the observable universe from the earliest known periods through its subsequent large-scale evolution is what formed this solar system. And one planet (Earth) in this solar system had the correct composition for abiogenesis which developed/evolved humans. Our history is what forms us. In what way can all of this happen again?
  2. When you lose a loved one then you miss him or her and want/wish to see him or her again. This is imo a main reason people believe in afterlife. I often want to believe in afterlife but from a scientific point of view there is no reason to believe in afterlife. We are one of the many animal species on Earth. From a biological point of view there is nothing special about us.

    a fact….In Mexico city there are stores where bottled water is more expensive then coke.
  4. No, the laws of nature imply what we say about nature.
  5. Because people say there is something.
  6. On a Holiday in Mars you should not forget sunblock. There is no magnetic field in Mars so it can be very sunny in Mars.
  7. I also like game of thrones.
  8. The Flash and The Expanse( thanks for mentioning it swansont ) And I really like The big bang theory and Young Sheldon.
  9. I made soup with forgotten vegetables but it was just plain water...I forgot the vegetables.
  10. I adore him and this song. He's so good!
  11. They say a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Yet a bird often stress shits in your hand...I prefer them in the bush...so my hand remains clean.

    Today I learned Kilimanjaro ice could be gone in 10 years.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/nov/03/kilimanjaro-melting-ice-climate-change http://www.bbc.com/storyworks/travel/fit-for-purpose/climate-change-kilimanjaro
  15. I don't know if this is an environmental crisis. But the loss of vegetation/trees causes soil erosion which can cause Desertification.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_desertification
  16. The decline of nature (cutting of trees, extinction of animals) is related to global warming and I find the most urgent environmental crisis. According to some estimates, 100 million sharks may be killed annually, mostly to feed China's demand for shark fin soup. Most sharks are predatory fish. Killing so many sharks messes up the ecosystem. Predators have an important role. The killing of all wolves in greater Yellowstone changed the natural landscape....The absence of wolves enabled ungulates to increase in population and live semi-sedentair which enabled them to eat flora (mostly close to rivers) until it's all eaten. This caused local plants and trees to be extinct or reduce in population which caused for example the beaver to be locally extinct. The same happens in oceans due to killing of sharks and in many continental places due the killing of predators. I hope I made myself clear.
  17. Climate change is also due to methane release of livestock. I immediately think about the sheep farming in Patagonia.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patagonian_sheep_farming_boom This has a big economic impact.
  18. The ‘third pole’ is the planet’s largest reservoir of ice and snow after the Arctic and Antarctic. It encompasses the Himalaya–Hindu Kush mountain ranges and the Tibetan Plateau. Meltwater feeds ten great rivers, including the Indus, Brahmaputra, Ganges, Yellow and Yangtze, on which almost one-fifth of the world’s population depends. Climate change threatens this vast frozen reservoir For the past 50 years, glaciers in the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau have been shrinking.https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-07838-4 The meltwater of the third pole feeds a lot of rivers if the third pole is nearly gone, then it can't feed rivers sufficiently. Basically, due to the warming, glaciers melt more in the summer then they grow in the winter. The third pole: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Pole
