The musician-turned-activist reckons the world will end in 2030 - leading to the extinction of humankind.
Sir Bob, 61, based his miserable prediction on the effects of climate change.
The world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself," he told a group of youngsters at a summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.
We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently Sir Bob Geldof The former Boomtown Rats singer also warned "the next war will not be a World War One or a World War Two, it will be the end."
He added: "We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently."
Sir Bob is best-known for his attempts in helping to fight famine in Africa, staging Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985.
He finished his speech by apologising for being "bloody miserable", but added: "just get on with it".
Baloney.
In South Dakota this week, they had several feet of snow.
Already.
Thanks Bob. All the other globull warming predictions have come true, so we can surely assume this one will too.
Whew...
“Climate change”? Bob never got the memo that that money-grubbing scam has been exposed and is dead in the water?
Kids, stay AWAY from drugs.
Ok..now I’m convinced. Time for the UN to confiscate all we earn to rectumfy this problem. Thanks for showing the light, Blob.
The Europeans are going to expect us to come save them again, from the Muslims they willingly let in.
Sorry, not this time. We have our own problems, like the one at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Bob has been smoking some serious stuff.
I wouldn’t laugh except that it’s because of global warming..
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
If he’s single, he ought to give Cher a call. I think they’d hit it off!/s;)
Surly Sir Bob bobbing!
Worst case, hockey stick graph to the head, predictions have been a few inches or maybe feet of higher ocean level and a few degrees warmer. OK, so life is sweatier and you need an extra sump pump in the basement if you live near the coast. Unless 7 billion people fell asleep on the beach and drowned, I don't see even those worse case predictions as fatal.
also warned "the next war will not be a World War One or a World War Two, it will be the end."
We've had lots of wars since WW II. Why does he think the next one will be the one that will kill everyone?
My vastly more likely prediction: Bob Geldof will die before 2030.
Bob best get working on his Dead Aid concert sooner than later.
I wish you’d stop saying that . . .
When I was a kid in the 70’s, the hippies said because of nuclear war and over-population, we’d all be dead by 1976. In the 80’s, the Rapturists said the world would end in 1986. Then there was global cooling, and then global warming that was fixing to do us in. I’ve outlasted all the date-setting dooms-dayers so far: I suspect I’ll outlast the climate-change nutbags too.
Sir Bob is a good example of why LSD use should be avoided.
It can make you crazier than a waltzing piss ant.
Isn’t Roseanne single? And she has a macadamia nut farm!
Bob, giving Keith Richards a run for his money.
Keef rocks, Bob does not.
