Phat, in your OP you invited discussion and opinions, I assume, on four questions. So I'll respond to each.
Our discussion can be quite broad.
what is the impact of religious fundamentalism on human awareness of the future on earth?
Absolutely devastating! Humans will be forever a danger to themselves as long as religious fundamentalism (bicamerality) rules over their minds.
Is Global warming preventable? How will the relocation of coastal populations be able to be accomplished given the diminishing resources globally? Will humans be able to put aside our selfish and survivalist nature and cooperate, or will there be wars as a result of these massive changes?
I seriously doubt that humans can do anything now to avoid a train wreck.
Can humanity maintain the standards of living that we in the United States now take for granted?
Of course not. Capitalism will see to that.
What IF? What if there are other natural disasters...such as Yellowstone or a Pacific Coast Tsunami and/or Earthquake? Could we survive? If so, would it be worth it?
America's infrastructure would be a soda cracker up against any of these disasters.
I have an additional question: Why can't we blame "The Protestant Ethic," as defined by
Max Weber, for inflicting Globalization on the world in "the Spirit of Capitalism"?
