Women and minorities will go earlier. We must have more government programs to stop this from happening.

We all make jokes.

But think for a minute.

Why would an article like this be published ?

What is the purpose of it ?

It’s not newsworthy. It has no bearing on our lives today.

Why ?

Rather than joke, I’m intending this as a serious question which will receive serious answers that would be intended to enlighten the reader as to why our mainstream news would continue to publish stories about the beginning and end of the earth, which has zero everyday practical application, ergo, it is not newsworthy for the general public.

I must apologize for overlooking the somewhat obvious.

theres always sort sort of agenda involved in the “release” of such staggering practical information.

We know it’s not a slow news day...

Global Cooling has yet to have been significantly addressed... meaning of course that this report could be completely useless by the end of the next News Cycle...
