Waiting for the End of World

They used to say the Earth was flat. What do these so-called self-styled "scientists" know eh?

A few years ago some scientists predicted that the melting of Greenland's glaciers would cause the Gulf stream to stop because it would upset the convection currents. Some scientists even suggested after a cold winter a couple of years ago that this was already happening. Now it turns out, after an unusually mild autumn (destroying the previous theory of the stopping gulf stream) that the gulf stream is actually caused by the rotation of the earth.

The fact is, a scientist spent some years on Hawai measuring CO2 levels and the average temperature and noticed a correlation, between the rise of both.

As far as I'm aware this is the only sensible contribution to the global warming debate.

4.5 billion are toast - leaving a substantial and sustainable couple of billion behind, sounds like a good result to me - bring it on.

But think of the smell of 4.5 billion rotting corpses...

As long as the 4.5 billion include all the Scottish,Welsh & Australians

They will take over, and use the remaining humans as their minions HTH

Oddly enough when I mentioned this article to a friend last night he mentioned that the date 2012 coincides with the Mayan apocalypse of 2012 -
strange stuff indeed.

Over 4.5 Billion people could die from Global Warming-related causes by 2012

You say that like its a bad thing. It'll sort out the housing crisis anyway.

Well - it just goes to show there is a silver lining to every cloud !

Would also cut down on hospital waiting times too.

that leaves 1.5 billion or so left. If we built a giant CentreParcs type building to shield the UK population we could top the medals table at the London Olympics that year
