Never mind that all the civilized nations have negative birth rates.

Soon, HALF of all children born will have Autism. Probable suspect is ‘Round-Up’ pesticide and the reaching effects through bees and the food chain.

I think, just in case, we should start killing the scientists now. ;)

There have been people shoveling this horse manure (in one form or another) for hundreds if not thousands of years.

I’ll give this person all the respect they deserve.

Hack, spit...

The news media have brainwashed many idiots into believing in the global warming hoax

As 1 result of this media hoax the government already banned lightbulbs and has made us buy much more expensive mercury filled lightbulbs. government , the media and the democrat party are the main problems we have.

"Rush Limbaugh brought him up recently"

Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner died on 22 November 2010 at the age of 95, so Rush did need to do some digging to bring him up.

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find

In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, and say
Is in the pill you took today

In the year 4545
Ain’t gonna need your teeth, won’t need your eyes
You won’t find a thing to chew
Nobody’s gonna look at you

In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs got nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you

In the year 6565
Ain’t gonna need no husband, won’t need no wife
You’ll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long glass tube’ Whoooa

In the year 7510
If God’s a-comin’ he ought to make it by then
Maybe he’ll look around himself and say
Guess it’s time for the Judgement day

In the year 8510
God is gonna shake his mighty head then
He’ll either say I’m pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again

In the year 9595
I’m kinda wondering if man is gonna be alive
He’s taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain’t put back nothing

Now it’s been 10, 000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man’s reign is through

But through eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it’s only yesterday

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may thrive

In the year 3535
Ain’t gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today....(fading...)

I was watching a show on the science channel just the other night that theorized a correlation climatic fluctuations and spurts of evolutionary brain size doubling every 400,000 years.

Apparently earth falls into gravitational resonance with Jupiter every 400,000 years that causes earth’s orbit to elongate by a few million miles.

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."
Easter Island, eh? Must be another avid reader of Jared Diamond. There has never been a war over food. Ever. Anywhere. There have been wars of conquest which used impending shortages of this or that resource as a pretext, but no actual wars over food. It's simple to see why -- in the 1990s the liberal meme was that the have-nots would storm over and kick your ass to take everything you'd stolen from the rest of the world. Number one, we've never stolen anything; number two, if they could get across the ocean, they wouldn't bother, they'd just feed themselves; number three, if they weren't starving, they might be able to go to war, but they can't in the first place.

I'll predict right now that "Eminent Australian scientist Professor Frank Fenner" will be extinct within 100 years, which is a break for the rest of us.

I'll also reiterate my prediction that the population of the Earth will have doubled three times by AD 2100, iow, the Earth will be home to over 50 billion people. The ratio of US population to Earth's will likely be about the same as it is now, so the US population will be somewhere north of 2 billion.

“there will be a lot more wars over food.”
When was the last war for food?
