Longevity has generally remained the object of great curiosity and now has provided extensive areas of research.  According to 2017 census, there is approximately 47 million seniors living in the the United States.  This represents about 15% of the population and in the next 40 years that population will be over 100 million.  There are over 20% of the senior population working full time according to the Pew Research poll taken in 2016 and many seniors today will not retire since they have not been able to save enough money for the expenses dealing with full retirement issues.  Caring for this age group and their needs presents many housing issues throughout the country and there is a need to assist the senior population cope with living into their elderly years, remain an important part of our community and manage with living experiences of aging gracefully with compassion and care.

The TIPPING POINT and BEYOND     __ __ __  .  .  .  __  __  __     Living in a Changing World 

The fields of all Sciences, but especially Earth Sciences, has been ignored for too many years when looking at the present day ecological dilemma and the ignorance of the natural benefits of our earth systems.  There have been many changes in our biosphere due to an increase in world population and neglect to respecting the planet's natural resources.  Most notably the last 50 years of humans burning  fossil fuels have increased CO2 changes into our biosphere causing erratic and dangerous conditions and climatic behaviors.  Many Politicians unfortunately do not care or take into account the long term suffering caused by these changes in our biosphere that is now obvious throughout the entire planet.

Questions:

Will the baby boom generation be able to pass onto future generations a stable biosphere and reduce the production of CO2 into our atmosphere and water?  

                                                                and also 

Will this generation pass on future climatic events that will cause an increase in cost to everyone's insurance premiums for buildings, medical cost, relocation cost, the extinction of many species, and anxiety and fear based upon our weather forecast that is changing the world's view of not having a safe Community to possibly live long term by establishing roots in a Community or simply a place to retire?
