Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner, who helped to wipe out smallpox, predicts humans will probably be extinct within 100 years, because of overpopulation, environmental destruction and climate change.
Fenner said that climate change is only at its beginning, but is likely to be the cause of our extinction. “We’ll undergo the same fate as the people on Easter Island,” he said. More people means fewer resources, and Fenner predicts “there will be a lot more wars over food.”

Uhhhhh....Okay...
Effeminate sounding British scientist but the shows he does are pretty good.
Eat, Drink and be Merry for tomorrow you die.
All signs point to world population leveling off for good, by the end of this century, at 11 billion.
Llama’s are mean and testy animals - just right for you.
I’ll see if I have that on Roku.

LEARN FROM HISTORY:
Paul Ehrlich in 1968 ( still taken seriously by Stanford ):
“By the year 2000 the United Kingdom will be simply a small group of impoverished islands, inhabited by some 70 million hungry people … If I were a gambler, I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.”
What actually happened:
I’m not hungry. I just ate. Are you hungry? Were you hungry in 2000, especially? Does England exist?
And oh yeah, As recently as 2009 Ehrlich was saying that his book — The Population Bomb was “too optimistic”.
Theories are interesting things. I hear them and I instantly have questions.
If every 400,000 years Jupiter and the Earth do line up to cause an elongated orbit, wouldn’t it stand to reason they would also line up to cause a reduced orbit, thus cancelling each other out?
Perhaps you’ve seen the recent recognition of the planets lining up, and how that was going to cause earthquakes.
Somehow the gravitational pull of Neptune, Mars, and Venus are supposed to cause extreme pressure on the Earth.
Never mind that the massive Sun and even the Moon exert far more pressure due to their proximity or size, and they don’t seem to cause massive earthquakes on a regular basis.
I hear these things and smile. I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but I do see these as similar to the ‘Chicken Little’ story line, even if a negative outcome wasn’t provided in your technical mention.
I’m not seeking to make a comment on you here at all, so don’t take it that way.
Take care.
LOL!!
I sometimes wonder how such well educated people can become so freaking stupid...
A highly educated idiot.
I'd read a few of his books...
Interesting theories and pretty good reading until he starts going off the rails with AGW...
Typically he presents his theories and his conclusion ALWAYS is Global Warming is our future...
as long as Dummycrats, liberals and commie bastards go first, I’m good...
I believe it! It's possible.
Real scientists, those who are familiar with the scientific method, seem already to be extinct.

Frank Fenner.
Try saying that five times fast.
I dare you.
“We’ll undergo the same fate as the people on Easter Island.”
Help! Help. We’re all going to carve big-headed statues and move to Hawaii! Help!
Does it also cause our heads and brains to elongate?
