What would be the Seven Wonders of the modern world?

1. Mass pollution of the oceans
2. Destruction of the ozone layer
3. Global warming from release of CO2
4. Ruination of rain forests
5. Annihilation of thousands of species of animals
6. Obesity epidemic
7. Complete lack of spiritual direction for the people.

>In Brazil there was a campaign Vote no Cristo (Vote for the Christ) which had the support of private companies, namely telecommunications operators that stopped charging voters to make telephone calls and SMS messages to vote.[13] Additionally, leading corporate sponsors including Banco Bradesco and Rede Globo spent millions of reals in the effort to have the statue voted into the top seven.[3] Newsweek reports the campaign was so pervasive that:[3]

>One morning in June, Rio de Janeiro residents awoke to a beeping text message on their cell phones: "Press 4916 and vote for Christ. It's free!" The same pitch had been popping up all over the city since late January—flashing across an electronic screen every time city-dwellers swiped their transit cards on city buses and echoing on TV infomercials that featured a reality-show celebrity posing next to the city's trademark Christ the Redeemer statue.
>—Elizabeth Dwoskin, Newsweek

>According to an article in Newsweek, around 10 million Brazilians had voted in the contest by early July.[3] This number is estimated as the New7Wonders Foundation never released such details about the campaign. An airplane message, with a huge inscription "4916 VOTE FOR CHRIST" flew in Rio de Janeiro for a month.

wow not even the dome of rock

Probably because it's underwhelming shit.

What is that big ass bridge?

Islam seems like a powerful spiritual direction.

>>1682010
Does the international space station count?

>>1682010
What's the first one? I know all the others but this one is stumping me.

>>1682131
Millau viaduct.

>>1682151
I'm guessing it's the Channel Tunnel.

Probably should except for the fact that it's technically not on the world.

>>1682159
Oh, yeah that's definitely Calais. Thanks

>>1682046
>Christ the redeemer
Why? The statue of liberty and The Motherland Calls are both larger and more impressive.

>>1682174
Because: >>1682062

All the others got in the same way though.

The US Highway System (technically the largest and most massive artificial structure to ever exist - larger and, pound for pound, more massive than all others combined.)

The flag on the moon (USA - USA - USA...)

The ISS.

(Though yes, those two are technically not in the world.)

The Suez Canal.

The Panama Canal.

Three Gorges Dam.

The Dubai Tower.

Singapore's Marina Bay Sands (because if the Hanging Gardens counted, that sure as hell does.)

The Tautona Mine (World's largest underground structure @ >4000M depth.)

(Though you might also count the Kola Superdeep Borehole - save for the fact that, it's just a hole.)

The Large Hadron Collider (not to be confused with the Large Hardon Collider, in San Francisco.)

...and of course...

That, more or less, ended in the 90's (though maybe that's why you used that gif.)

>>1682028
You forgot global coral bleaching, which, in the long run, is probably going to be a bigger problem than the rain forests.

So did those things he mentioned. I was mocking him.

Think their still chopping down rainforests pretty damned fast...

...Not looked into the ozone layer in awhile... Did we finally take Louis Black's suggestion, go up with a some astronauts and saran wrap, and fix it?

>>1682329
The Chunnel I think?

>>1682366
Rainforest deforestation has actually increased since the 90's - with drastic spikes in 2004 and 2012.

But the ozone hole is shrinking, according to NASA, and may even close by 2100.
