The History Channel...has been running a popular series on so-called mega-disasters that threaten to do serious damage to life on earth. From super volcanoes to super asteroids, to exotic space phenomena and more mundane, down-to-earth threats, we count down the top ten mega disasters and tell you which ones to worry about.
Number 10: Global Warming
No phenomenon in recent memory has been more over-hyped than global warming...
Number 9: Pole Shift
Pole shift is so far “out there” as a credible disaster scenario that it just barely straddles the line between science fiction and science. The fact that we put it at number 9 on this list speaks volumes about our feelings regarding global warming!...
It would be difficult for any earthquake to meet that criteria.
Hey, I get a daily dose of Co-60 gamma radiation every day at work and nothing is wrong with me. Just don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry...

Remember when “The Population Bomb” was going to kill us all if we didn’t accept abortion and Socialism?
What about GLOBAL COOLING? Or Acid Rain???
I think most educated adults will agree that "mounting a crisis attack", by returning to a pre-industrial world to prevent a gamma ray burst is incredibly childish and borders on insanity.
I see the 'global warming' hysteria as pretty much the same thing; more so than preparing the East or West coasts for the impact of 1200-ft earthquake-induced tsunamis...
Lots of things can be imagined. Anything that can be imagined is possible.
The distinction that we make between mentally healthy adults and the other kind is how we live our lives after examining those statements.
Well, presented in that form, then, the "Global Warming Hoax" is in fact the greatest mega-disaster facing the world today!
No question whatsoever.

You’d think Britney Spears would’ve made the list.
“Theory links ancient extinction to supernova
Stellar explosion may have triggered gamma-ray blast and ice age”
ATLANTA - “The second-largest extinction in the Earth’s history, the killing of two-thirds of all species, may have been caused by ultraviolet radiation from the sun after gamma rays destroyed the Earth’s ozone layer.”

Scary stuff. A 10 second burst of gamma-rays from an exploding star 10 THOUSAND light-years away.
Stop your worrying and move a mile East of the Fault. Your worrying will turn to anticipation of the day you will own oceanfront property.........
