Board The Titanic II With Authentic Costumes in 2018
On April 15, 1912,
RMS
Titanic, the largest ocean liner ever built, struck an iceberg and sank in frigid Atlantic waters, killing 68% of the passengers and crew aboard. The shock of this failure of technology put a lasting pall on an era of untrammeled human industrial growth and development.
Today, we are faceing a similar nick point in human history. This time the ship is the Earth and its inevitable sinking puts the lives of billions of its passengers and crew at risk. Our Earth ship has hit the iceberg of ultimate limits to human growth and consumption of the Earth’s finite resources.
The impact of
Homo sapiens
on this planet is a function of two main variables, Population growth and consumption of natural resources. Human impact on the Earth is a function of the per
capita
rate of resource consumption multiplied by the total human population. At present, both numbers are increasing geometrically.
