#2To correct him on one point, the UK will have access to the common market(no one disputes this)
What he is actually talking about is MEMBERSHIP of the common market(which likely requires free movement of people).
Currently it is unlikely the UK will keep membership as it seems a trade agreement is the preferred option.
Everything is up in the air and anyone who is sure of anything is either lying, misinformed, or deluded.

#3Oh I wonder what will be on here other than climate change, bio-engineered plagues, and... oh, it's just a left wing fluff piece.

#4Point 9 (UN Security Council) is something I hadn't thought of. That would be the Insecurity Council. Finding five people more likely to draw us all into a catastrophic war would be a challenge.

#6After decades of hearing that the sky is falling for these and other reasons, and realizing that it never does, I've come to the conclusion that the people who push this sort of fear need to be challenged. Humanity will muddle through, we always do.

I wasn't expecting the political tilt of this article. But perhaps many crises are avoided because we start doing something to prevent them. For example the ozone hole. Or the fear of mass terrorism after 9/11.

I mean it's worth the down votes to try to crack the echo chamber of pro globalism ideology spouted by people like you.

Maybe if you had presented some challenges you believe are serious, or contributed in any meaningful way rather than just bitching, people would respond more favorably.

I agree. Fear of catastrophe is a catastrophe on its own. I have friends that tend to not want children, giving as a reason some of the problems that are stated in this article.
I know ... Life goes on is very shallow thought, when you read article like this, but depression can't help solve those problems. As a matter of fact, that depression by the constant stream of negativity by the current highly-globalized world is the reason people vote against the system.
