MegaTsunami

[NotAllThere]

I'm sure I watched something like that a few years ago already. Was it a repeat or a rehash of an older program?

If the megatsunami's don't get us, the super volcanoes will.
If the super volcanoes don't get us, the extinction event asteroids will
If the asteroids don't get us, global warming will,
If global warming doesn't get us, then snowball Earth will,
If snowball Earth doesn't get us, then a gamma ray burst will,
If a gamma ray burst doesn't get us, then a nearby supernova will have roughly the same effect.

Did I miss any?

The earth is not a safe place. We need to get off it quick and hang the environmental consequences - the environment is doomed anyway.

measles ?

Dunno.

I didn't look at the date stamp at the end.

I have now.

2013.

Something like this? As it is written over thousand years ago?

"And there were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, and a great earthquake such as there had never been since man was on the earth, so great was that earthquake. [.......] And great hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, fell from heaven on people;"

Sounds like a huge multi-vulvano perhaps after a huge asteroid hitting the earth. Yes, we are doomed!

The law of entropy will not be beat.

Earth will resemble any other planets, desolate, lifeless, hostile, and a brief history of life will be forgotten for ever without a trace.

Or maybe not.

All the above pales into insignificance compared with the projected 0.0000000000000000000000001 deg c rise in global temperature over the next 100 million years.


PJ Clarke, over to you.....

Oh yes - I missed a disease with the contagious ability of measles and the mortality rate of rabies.

Speaking of which one of the labs was saying that they had lost a tube of Ebola's more virulent cousin the other month...

Right. Ya, and they even get Nobel prices over such BS. I wish I could get that over my theory. Actually it is not mine.

Due to the increase of population on Earth, we need more food. As the caw population grows to provide more beef, caw fart is of a concern to scientists. It is already more damaging to the atmosphere than CO emissions. Carbon monoxide oxidizes to CO2, which is than converted to oxygen by plants. Methane gas however is not. Experts say cows are responsible for the biggest portion of the world’s global warming.

I have to admit, even I contribute to the global warming.

You mean an enormous bunch of *****?
