Are we all doomed sooner than we think?

redditreddit

The actual effects of global warming and subsequent knock on effects are, as we know, hotly debated both ways, but reading these articles, it does make me wonder whether the current position, whatever it's causes, could spell the end for much of life on Earth within a much smaller space of time that perhaps we might like to believe?

It seems have been a possibility for the Permian–Triassic extinction event, 250 million years ago.

    An ice age across Northern Europe will out run civilisation leaving thousands dead in the ill prepared UK, this can happen within one season (quarter of a year) and has in the past too...many times.

    Sleep well.


    Are you saying we should stockpile stamps, jerrycans, & pasties again?

    Nothing more than we deserve with the way we are destroying the planet that gives us life. You abuse it you lose it

    In the Matrix, Agent Smith likens the human race to a virus consuming all the local resources to exhaustion and moving on. How true.


    It is true. I also think it's funny how in Hollywood films Aliens often come to our planet to farm us out and destroy us, in all probability we'd do that to any Alien planet we found, like Avatar, rather than the Futurame style world I'd like!
