We're Toast 8

This post is a collection of links that support my increasingly strong feeling that the human race (or at least our technological civilization) is doomed. It is part of an ongoing series of posts.

Climate Change and Environment

• Worlds rivers 'awash with dangerous levels of antibiotics'. This is helping to spread antibiotic resistance.
• For the Midwest, Epic Flooding Is the Face of Climate Change. America's breadbasket is underwater.
• New Report Suggests ‘High Likelihood of Human Civilization Coming to an End’ Starting in 2050. I think we will see major distruptions sooner than that.
• If Climate Goals Aren’t Met, Extreme Heat Will Kill Thousands in U.S. Cities, even northern ones.
• Groundbreaking Report Gives Us a Glimpse of the US Military’s Gigantic Carbon Footprint

Politics

• The Growing Danger of Trump's Trade War with China. Global recession is not the worst outcome.
• They Know That America Isn't Great. So they want to rig the census.
• How America could become a dictatorship in 10 years, according to Jared Diamond.
• Trump's Misguided Ban on Federal Fetal-Tissue Research Will Only Hurt Science. 

Technology

• China Telecom Swallows Huge Amount of European Mobile Traffic For Over Two Hours. Is it live or is it China Telecom?
• 'I wash all my food like crazy': scientists voice concern about nanoparticles
• Satellite Constellations Like SpaceX's Starlink Could Cause Major Problems, Astronomy Group Warns. There goes the night sky.
