Again, why worry? Revevlation tells us God will destroy this earth in its current form and will remake it into a perfect place where His children will dwell with Him and He with His children....and liberal policies are going to stop Him.
I would suggest all liberals give up the doomsday talk and get on board with God. Their lives will be much happier.

Earth and the rest of the universe is due to wink out 1007 years from now.
Haven’t seen Yehova cancel a scheduled event yet!

He will definitely not be Re-making Earth!
It will be a new city in the realm of Yehova. Space-time will be destroyed “with fervent heat” and “a loud noise.”
Hope you weren’t too attached to it!

Northern Canada is going to get really cold and dry.

Even if a mass extinction is in the cards, however, it likely wouldn't be evident immediately. Rather, the process could take 10,000 years to play out, said study co-author Daniel Rothman, a geophysicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. [7 Iconic Animals Humans Are Driving to Extinction However, slashing carbon emissions dramatically in the coming years may also be enough to prevent such global catastrophe, said Lee Kump, a geoscientist at Pennsylvania State University who was not involved in the study. Carbon and death Over Earth's 4.5-billion-year history, life has seen a lot of boom and bust times. In the past half-billion years alone, five major extinctions have wiped out huge swaths of life: the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction, the Late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction and the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs. The most severe was the Permian extinction, or "The Great Dying," when over 95 percent of marine life and 70 percent of land-based life died off.Let's take a closer look, shall we?
What is left out is more important than the hysteria and dazzle them with bullshit numbers....
"In the past half-billion years alone, five major extinctions have wiped out huge swaths of life:"
Oh, look! those are spread out over 500,000,000 years!
That would be, on average, every 125,000,000 years! (every 125 million years) Definitely NOT 10,000 years, the figure thrown our here given by the hysterics.
So, of course, we have to start saving the earth from the next one no later than 2027!!!!
The math is pretty simple.
Confused?
That's the whole idea, suckers!
Ignorance and stupidity; next to hydrogen, the most abundant things in the universe!

Oh, incidentally, it’s only been 66 million years since the last extinction, and the moving average separation up to the last one is 125 million... relax.
