Am reminded of the end of Roman occupation here in the now United Kingdom, where their logical application of their rules, was replaced by what are now described as the Dark Ages.

Escape, you need to understand what is coming down the line to replace our new ROME. Take a quick look at this graph https://nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-ice-tools/charctic-interactive-sea-ice-graph where you will see that today the sea ice levels in the Arctic ocean are already some 1,000,000 square Kms below the last low, recorded in 2012.

It remains my firm belief that there may be no ice at the north pole this summer, and that the Greenland ice sheet will start to collapse, no not melt, collapse. What we have there is ice standing on a solid base that is up to 3 Kms thick, or to put it another way, we are looking at a lake 3 Kms deep. Now imagine the ice skate, where the weight of your body melts the surface of the ice to allow your near friction less movement, and now use some simply mathematics to work out the weight of the ice at that solid base surface. The Greenland ice sheet is about to collapse, when it goes, it will go very quickly, and sea levels will rise ~ 6.5 metres, in turn displacing all humanity that lives at or near sea level. That single event will make all these rules completely irrelevant, as we once again enter a new dark age. Food for thought?
