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".

He’s done many good things and act of kindness and charity. Like a lot of folks he’s dead wrong about climate change.

Ah, thank goodness for the entertainers of the world - we of course rely on our public school system and it's heavily unionized teachers in this country to be the main source of idiotic misinformation and politically motivated pseudo-science for 'youngsters', but there's no denying that the mindless babble of singers and actors (uttered in the gravest tones) forms a valuable learning adjunct for the little tots.

Those Brits sure have cheapened the title of “Sir”

Don't know much about bob geldof. Have not researched him. Since he is a musician turned scientist saying everyone is doomed, have to believe he is a nut. Lots of nuts these days, topped with heaping helpings of insanity drug laced zombies wandering around America these days.

Is good to see you, gleeaikin and I have a question below, if there is anything which can/may be shared.

Any rumblings up your way regarding the shooting which you may/can share? Prayers that all is quiet.

Is he aware that the money he raised in the 80s mostly went to replenish the coffers of the African dictators that were starving their people?

The whole Ethiopian famine was a Stalinist style pogrom by the Haile Mengistu regime. And Mengistu was a Soviet client.

Let’s match up the lifetime sum total of all the drugs he consumed versus all of the global warming to date. If someone isn’t going to see 2013, it’s him [hey, wasn’t it “2525, if man is still alive?” 2030 is waaaay too soon]

Ah, I see your mistake. Silly you, looking to judge by results. Don’t you know that results don’t matter??? So what if no one actually got helped. Bob rocked and the effort is all that matters, no matter how futile or misdirected that effort might be. Now come on, get with the program!

You first, Bob.

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Hope they are keeping him away from sharp things.

[glorgau]

I wonder if his portfolio has any long term bonds.

Whilst camping last summer, we chanced upon a discarded zucchini
Which someone had pitched into the bushes. Being inebriated we carved a face upon the. vegetable and propped it up in a chair, naming it Bob. Upon reading this story, I am reminded of that impressive zucchini, which I feel was possibly smarter than this Sir Bob and certainly had a more pleasant demeanor.

True story.

to clarify gleeaikin ... the shooting mentioned in my prior post from me was regarding the D.C. one (female with child in vehicle).

[Yo-Yo]

Well then, Sir Bob, why wait until the last minute?

[Mister Da]

When the “Chicken Littles” of this world start leading by example, then I might listen to them.

When Al Gore forgoes all the luxuries in which he wallows, disconnects from the power grid, sails rather that flies to every destination, & eats from his own hand-tilled garden, then I might consider AGW with something other than total contempt.

Ok..now I’m convinced. Time for the UN to confiscate all we earn to rectumfy this problem. Thanks for showing the light, Blob.

LOL good one deadrock.

Ooh, you dug the hard stuff. Rock on, man.

He’s always looked like death-warmed-over, IIRC. He’s another bobbing turd in the toilet bowl, that just won’t flush.
