Talk:Scenario: Extinction/@comment-28816571-20190401000417

The planet Earth, as depicted in the scenario's backstory, is quite "hospitable" indeed.

I also assume that a worst-case scenario for space exploration (and potential colonization) has occurred. Otherwise, the question, "What about the Astronauts?" would be brought up at some point in time.

The world must have also stagnated in regards to military technology for nuclear weapons to be in continual use for much of the late 21st century without alternatives such as orbital weaponry and/or hyper-sonic missiles, among other future unconventional weapons, being fully developed.

"Arable land" as a war-goal also appears to imply that agricultural methods such as in-vitro cultivation were either left undeveloped or remained in the experimental phase, and the lack of more efficient forms of urban infrastructure and layout, though the possible existence of enclosed semi-functioning societies with any semblance of 21st century standards does imply that such improvements may have been implemented in some limited form.

The story does have some promise, thoug the current structure of the page is amateurish at best. The scenario has a harsh outlook on humanity, however, and I hope that at the very least parts of humanity in this scenario made serious attempts to stave off civilization decay and ultimate collapse, as has occured many times throughout history.
