I reckon any event like that would be bad, and no doubt kill millions.

But I also think it wouldn't wipe out anywhere near enough people to threaten the human race. Plants are dying? Hydroponics people! more clouds in the sky, less sunlight? no need to worry about skin cancer!

Yes it would be bad, but it wouldn't be catastrophic to homo sapiens, because we are adaptable and we are able to create. We see an obstacle, we figure a way around it.

:up: :up: :up: :yep:

The raw materials, technologies and people with the knowledge to use them would still exist. Shelter, heating, clothing, transportation, fuel, electricity and most all other necessities except food would be readily available. The cites, roads, housing, all types of stores, construction equipment, ect. would still exist. Food would be the biggest
problem. There are more than enough smart people to figure out how to produce enough food to survive. The idea of going back to the stone age is rather silly I think.

What the human race might NOT SURVIVE is the total anarchy which we would bring on ourselves. Everybody having a gun and ready to use it to survive is not a pretty picture.

See, I think humanity has a very clear history of creating order out of anarchy. As a species, we thrive on defining and following leaders. I think that any such cataclysm would be followed by the siezure of power by those with the capability, with the others simply falling behind.

So is human history.

I'm sure there's a lot of things going on with tectonic plates etc. Nobody, or very few, knew about the huge earthquake that caused the tsunami of 2004. When mother nature puts on the big gear, **** really hits the fan.
