We’ll be gone several hundred times from space rocks before then.

Obama will still be blaming George Bush.

That’s right! Maybe Yellowstone before that!

Bloomberg needs to hop right on this and build some sea walls or suns shades or something RIGHT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

“A combination of slow and rapid environmental changes will result in the extinction of all species on Earth, with the last inhabitants disappearing within 2.8 billion years from now,” O’Malley-James predicts.

Maybe, just maybe we can put the end off 20 years or so by everyone turning off our air conditioners, stop eating meat and not driving. It's for our children.

Damn, I gotta make another ammo run.

Haha! That is the only cartoon I ever wanted to draw. I thought of it in about 1970, and my version was going to be two astronauts, one collecting rock samples and the other looking at the exploding earth. The caption would be the geologist’s part of the conversation, “Oh, about twelve days worth. Why?”

Can’t draw to save my life, though.

Ya. We are basically thinking animals in which the animal part tends to dominate.

We will be just smart enough cause our own destruction and know when it is happening but not smart enough to stop it.

He says that we’ve got about 2 billion years left before the oceans will have evaporated leaving behind a desiccated sand dune landscape as alien-looking as that of Mars.
