Humans will be extinct in 100 years says eminent scientist

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.”

I don’t know if mankind (or am I supposed to say humankind?) will be extinct in 100 years, but I sure expect the good professor to be extinct.

"Extinct because of overpopulation" is like saying "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded".

“Soon, HALF of all children born will have Autism. “

Phony-baloney “diagnosis” using a real syndrome to describe normal children that lazy parents refuse to discipline.

I guess Frank Fenner never paid attention. Seems his colleagues said the human race would have already starved by now. (Population Bomb, 1968)

Extinct because of overpopulation? That calls to mind Yogi Berra’s comment about a popular restaurant: “Nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded.”

“When was the last war for food?”
I was in a few food fights back in school. This was, oh, way back when we all wore onions on our belts and could stay awake a long time. And our cook sucked.

According to Laurence Kotlikoff, the true US debt is 16 times what the government reports. Therefore, to stave off fiscal disaster, all tax rates must be raised by 58% immediately.
