Mankind will be extinct in 100 years because of climate change, warns expert
Daily Mail ^ | June 19, 2015 | Jonathan O'Callaghan

Humans will be extinct in 100 years due to overcrowding, declining resources and climate change, according to a prominent scientist.

The comments were first made by Australian microbiologist Dr Frank Fenner in 2010, but engineer and science writer David Auerbach has reiterated the doom-laden warning in his latest article.

He criticises the recent G7 summit for failing to deal with the problems facing the survival of humanity, such as global warming and exhausting Earth's resources.

Mr Auerbach goes on to say that experts have predicted that 21st century civilisation faces a similar fate to the inhabitants of Easter Island, who went extinct when they overexploited their natural habitat.

One thing I’m certain of, if this prediction is in the Perfect Will of GOD, yes it will happen. But God is not revealing HIS Calendar.

[21st century civilisation...]

[Civilisation - the quality of excellence in thought and manners and taste; “a man of intellectual refinement”.]

Qualities that this nut job is lacking.

If the only solution is to reduce the population, then I suggest the enviro-nuts and leftists lead by example and remove themselves.

There, problem solved!

Thanks! That's well worth a bookmark. Kids look incredulous at me when I tell them that.

They also think their generation invented sex.

Must see YouTube video! (no joke, he was dead serious!)

March 2010:

Democrat Representative Hank Johnson fears Guam may tip over and sink due to overpopulation! Check out the reaction of the military official he was questioning.

I would challenge these dimwits to get on a plane and fly a thousand miles east of Moscow and just get in a jeep and start driving. Within a 300-mile circle....you might be lucky to find 250 people.

Yes. Except for the Lear Jet Leftists — and just enough peons to raise their food and clean their toilets.

Neither Fenner nor Auerbach will be around to learn what nincompoops they were.

I, too, am a prominent expert. What? My credentials and record? Don't bother me with trivialities.

Moving right along...

I predict that in 100 years pigs will fly.
Elected criminals will keep their election campaign promises.
Elected criminals who lie, or accumulate unusual wealth will be prosecuted and jailed for a minimum of 20 years, and stripped of all retirement funds.

All elected criminals will be subject to the same benefits and subject to the same laws as the citizenry at large. No exceptions. Ever.

Prove me wrong!

Nah. Ain’t gonna happen. There will be a population “Adjustment” soon by the traditional means: War, pestilence and famine, possibly a couple of major natural disasters. If that isn’t enough there is always abortion and euthanasia of those no longer able to contribute to the state.

Do you have any idea how many nuclear bombs were exploded in the southwest in the fifties?

That’s kind of like the Ted Danson prediction in 1988 that if we didn’t clean up the oceans in ten years, that there’d be death and pestilence everywhere on the seas. HT Rush

Global warming experts will be gone long before then.

Invent better stuff.

About 25 years ago, a huge "umbrella" of metalicized mylar ribbon was proposed to be sent into outer orbit: its orbit would place it constantly between the Earth and the Sun—spinning slowly to retain its shape.

Depending on how much of the Sun's rays needed reflecting (to cool the Earth), the number of ribbons included could be determined before construction. This probably appeared in Popular Science magazines that I subscribed to. The authors didn't mention how it could be "retracted" when no longer needed, but something on the order of "chain-shot" could have done the job.
