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.

There's is big money is selling alarm.

At some level of catastrophe, the human race can and will be wiped out. Big enough object striking the earth with enough velocity, and "climate change" will be 600 degree winds for a few weeks, and worse!

This group always points to the US as the main culprit. They’ve never seen the way Asia lives ...

then we should build a giant spaceship. Put all the politicians, hair-dressers, entertainers, government bureaucrats, insurance sales people, and other middlemen on the first ship. That way they can be first at our next planet and set up shop. We’ll wait here until they are ready for the engineers, scientists, inventors, workers and other producers. (paraphrased from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy).

Heck, we could become extinct in the next 5 years due to climate change, but not man made climate change...

Actually, we could ... it's better known as NUCLEAR WINTER, which will be inevitable if Iran gets the bomb.

declining resources

???????????

What resources are declining?

I hear some PSAs about clean water that make it sound as if water is a diminishing resource. But there is just as much water on the planet as there was centuries ago.

Hairspray was destroying the Ozone Layer 50 years ago.

These 'experts' just dust off the speeches of the supposed threats from decades ago, repackage them, and try to sell them to new generations.

When the data doesn't support their threat claims, they just change the data -- which causes their claims to be based on lies.

Expert. LOL!! Read the Book of Revelation if you really want to be an expert.

"Apparently benign alien emissaries show mankind how to end the misery
of war, plague and famine. The Kanamits, nine-foot tall aliens, arrive on
Earth with one lofty goal: To Serve Man. They end war, they end famine.
They make the military wonder: what's the catch?"

Seven billion people in 100 years sounds about right to me. Uh...did the good Doctor mention that in the intervening time more people will be born? Or was that part of the equation dropped in the interest of brevity?

Isn’t this the same group that said NYC would be under water by 2015?

But it's true I tell ya! It's true! I have the pictures to prove it!!

I thought we were already all dead due to over population. It's so hard to keep up with what I'm supposed to fear most.

[Paladin2]

“The original edition of The Population Bomb began with this statement: “The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate .”

These would be mere idiots if they were not taken seriously. Instead they invoke panic about something that either does not exist or the cost of doing something about is too high.
