Quit your immediately and get off the grid asap.
LONGYEARBYEN, Norway — With plant species disappearing at an alarming rate, scientists and governments are creating a global network of plant banks to store seeds and sprouts, precious genetic resources that may be needed for man to adapt the world’s food supply to climate change.

That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that people are more connected than ever. Maybe appreciate that life in the west is devoid of the magnitude of suffering, pain, despair, inhumanity, etc that so often accentuated those virtues. There's plenty of unspoiled places in the world and they're usually the kind of places with high infant mortality rates, where you'll find people chopping one another up with machetes.

That is another argument for which a separate threat could be started. In my view it is a fallacy that connecting with each other and the "group consciousness" thing is good.
On the basis that we are all from the same source, it does not make sense to inter-connect whilst in incarnation. We are here for different purpose , where individualism is more important. In my opinion Facebook is turning individuals into vegetables.

Now if you look around you all you see is people addicted to their gadgets; constantly pressing buttons. The majority of people I come across seem to be totally disconnected to any objective or purpose. There appears to be a zombification of the people ; man is inventing machine that takes control over him.
Is there a new deluge on its way ?

Is there a new deluge on its way ?
Yes. A deluge not of water, though. A deluge of methane is pouring out of the arctic oceans and sea shelves, and has been doing so at an accelerating rate for several years now as methane clathrates (solid methane) destabilize and sublimate into its highly insulative gas form.
Long story short, life on Earth is #ed due to accelerating and rapid habitat change, and humans will die like all other species will. You have global famine, disease, and war for dwindling resources (farmable land) to look forward to in the near future.
Its an extinction event unfolding before our eyes.
In 20 years, its not impossible that the majority of animals on Earth will be dead.
Humans not excluded.
