I'd buy that humans may destroy civilization by 2050, but I'm guessing it's more likely to be war or bioterrorism than climate change.

If by "bioterrorism" you mean "man-made zombie apocalypse" then I agree 100%!

It's great to be able to hold a rational discussion on line about this topic.

I am still looking for a practicable plan to make a real change in what is happening.
I agree. It is the greatest threat facing humanity. Denying it and pretending like it doesn't exist like the current President and virtually every republican politician in the country isn't practical.

I personally do not view it as the "greatest threat facing humanity".  Obviously that's an opinion either way.

Perhaps not "zombie" apocalypse, but bio-engineered diseases/plagues, that sort of thing. 

Or even a natural one. The current bacteria that are becoming ever-more resistant to antibiotics mutate into something that we have no defense for. Or maybe a super-Ebola virus. Who knows?

Or we create AI and it rapidly grows into Skynet or the Matrix and realizes it doesn't need us any more. 

Where climate change might be involved? Perhaps it causes some sort of viral issue as changing environmental conditions spur rapid disease mutations to adapt [or allow something to jump from animals to humans], or disruption of climate change causes some unhinged dictator to start a global thermonuclear war. 

How about a nice game of chess?

No, I want my bio-engineered plague to manifest as a zombie apocalypse, as prophesied in the movie 28 Days Later (and a million others)!  :)

We're already skirting SkyNet though.  Really scary when AI chatbots develop their own language to circumvent human dialog.

Every time someone washes his/her hands with antibiotic soap, more antibiotic-resistant bacteria are being created.

All soap is antibiotic.  All of it.

I think I should have used the term "antibacterial."
How does that work?

No, generally not on a school night.

But tomorrow...

Yeah, sorry.  The burfle they add to soap these days is pretty useless anyway, triclosan as I recall.
