~~~~~More Than 250,000 People May Die Each Year Due to Climate Change.
In the coming decades, more than a quarter-million people may die each year as a result of climate change, according to a new review study.
In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that climate change would lead to about 250,000 additional deaths each year between 2030 and 2050, from factors such as malnutrition, heat stress and malaria.
But the new review, published Jan. 17 in The New England Journal of Medicine, said this is a "conservative estimate." That's because it fails to take into account other climate-related factors that could affect death rates — such as population displacement and reductions in labor productivity from farmers due to increased heat, study co-author Dr. Andrew Haines, epidemiologist and former director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, told CNN.
In addition, the WHO estimate didn't take into account illnesses and deaths tied to disruptions in health services caused by extreme weather and climate events, the review said.
The new review didn't give an updated estimate of climate-change-related deaths, but noted that reduced food production alone is predicted to lead to a net increase of 529,000 adult deaths by 2050, according to a 2016 study.
Climate change could also force more than 100 million people into extreme poverty by 2030, according to World Bank estimates, which in turn, would make them more vulnerable to the health effects of the changing climate.
All of this underscores the need for investments and policies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and promote ways to mitigate the health effects of climate change, the report said.
"Climate change is causing injuries, illnesses and deaths, with the risks projected to increase substantially with additional climate change, threatening the health of many millions of people," the report said. "The pervasive threats to health posed by climate change demand decisive actions from health professionals and governments to protect the health of current and future generations."

Polyamory in a world of the increasing economically unattractive.
In these days of inequality making not much of a foundation to stand on.
How are people to find a stable ground? "No man is a island!"
Polyamory, Open relationships! And so will go higher as many look for the better things in life accepting the handicap in that knowing you can love more than one and so two is better than one in ones economical life! Life doesn't care anyway, you do or don't so many do Polyamory getting open about it!
America is living 64% paycheck to paycheck. In that are the issues of being poor but are issues viewed of well off people. Poor and poor fit in but should be as a way to pull each other up! https://nbcmontana.com/news/nation-world/64-of-americans-now-living-paycheck-to-paycheck-thanks-to-inflation-report-says-lendingclub
Issues of a lack of income is a lack of education thus not knowing how to relate to jealousy. Well get educated on it! How does it relate to your past relationships was it worth it, how long to you plan to be stupid about it everyone around you like LOL there they go again natural selection, they will burn out it, keep it going now! Or let it go it's not worth jealousy! Learn from it ask other poly types look it up. you learn you like walkout of the fire because you are tired of it!
~~~~~Buying tickets to events, throwing parties, or purchasing fetish wear these aren't absolute requirements for participation in polyamorist and kink communities, but the studies note they can be associated costs. And jobs for the lower classes don’t just pay poorly; they also often lack benefits, paid leave, and stable schedules. So people in those jobs have much less time or energy to devote to dates, to community events, and to nurturing multiple relationships. The lifestyle is also helped along by a certain amount of urban density and good public transit infrastructure — something, again, much more available to high earners in big cities. (It’s also worth noting that racial injustice and economic injustice overlap to a very large degree.)" https://theweek.com/articles/538413/what-polyamorycan-teach-about-economics-family-life
There is no need to be uppity in Polyamory. Life is what you make it together!
~~~~~Yes, too many men are simply economically unattractive.
How sad that it's come to this.
As inequality increases and technology increasingly takes advantage of cheap labor, love becomes part of a calculation.
Long-term plans can't be made. Marriage is but a concept from another time and place.
Yet there's another way in which equality is being achieved. Slowly, women are earning more.
Which leads Lichter to muse:
Marriage is still based on love, but it also is fundamentally an economic transaction. Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women's educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors.
Please don't worry, boys. One day soon, technology will find a way to make you all completely disposable.

~~~~~Study Blames “Economically Unattractive Men” For Falling Marriage Rates.
Is Economic Unattractiveness a Viable Reason to Turn Down a Mate?
Experts note that women themselves are now earning more and producing more economically, and they may come to expect their spouses to provide as much as they can. Finances are the leading reason why divorces occur, so it makes sense that people are looking for someone financially stable. Women have historically governed the household, but having to govern the household and be a primary breadwinner may be too taxing.
At the same time, there’s something to be said for the increasing “pickiness” of people in general. More people today are single than before: over half of young individuals aren’t in a relationship. Some have accused online dating of having a hand in this: with a “grass is always greener” point of view, it’s more difficult to commit.
Others point out that financial difficulties can make it difficult for people to maintain relationships at all, as they are more focused on their career and their education. Unfortunately, this contributes to an aging workforce and a shrinking population, which is something that many advanced countries are struggling with today.
The bottom line: marriage is fading away, and people are increasingly staying single. At least part of this appears to be because of vanishing jobs and lowered male wages, which is making it less attractive for women to get married and have children. A better economy, which can support stay-at-home parents of either gender, is likely needed to alleviate this.

Noting the minimum wage hopefully go up but the poverty jobs will get replaced by automation so still the need will be needed to run to a career college for the job skills needed. And so that shows a need for community. If one is economically unattractive, get two! So in these changing times get together because the future won't stop coming unless people stop using technology going back to flip phones!
And so all of life as it is or will be points to more Polyamory and openness! If it helps take it in your life! We all should be adults not a time to be a child! A time for openness it's ok!
