STEPHEN Hawking fears Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement could be the “tipping point” which wipes out humanity and turns our planet into a living hell.
The British professor is worried that The Donald’s rejection of this plan to combat global warming could cause irreversible changes which doom our planet to a grim fate.
Will Donald Trump bring about the apocalypse? Professor Stephen Hawking certainly appears to think so
In recent years, Hawking has become something of a doom-monger who is determined to sketch out a variety of grim fates which await the human race.
In his latest prophecy, the professor suggested our planet could be destined to become totally uninhabitable.
“We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees, and raining sulphuric acid,” he told the BBC.
“Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it’s one we can prevent if we act now.
“By denying the evidence for climate change, and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Donald Trump will cause avoidable environmental damage to our beautiful planet, endangering the natural world, for us and our children.”

"Charles Manson, the notorious cult leader, has broken a 20-year silence in an interview from his prison cell to warn the world of an impending apocalypse due to global warming.

"Everyone's God and if we don't wake up to that there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere," he said.
"The automobiles and fossil fuels are destroying the atmosphere and we won't have air to breathe".

Ever heard of a tree? It is made of water and CO2!
"In fact, climate change is directly related to the growth of terrorism," said Sanders.
"And if we do not get our act together and listen to what the scientists say, you're going to see counties all over the world...they're going to be struggling over limited amounts of water, limited amounts of land to grow their crops, and you're going to see all kinds of international conflict."
Sanders said at the second Democratic debate in Iowa that climate change poses the biggest threat to America's national security and to security of the world. ..."
There’s one kind of intelligence that comes from an accumulation of knowledge within one or more specialized areas, and another that relates to being able to objectively and accurately analyze information not closely related to any of your specialized, accumulated knowledge.
Many revered as geniuses based on the former are often found lacking based on the latter, and it seems that is the case here. Just think of how many “smart”, elderly people you know that couldn’t adapt to any new technologies as they came out.
It took my Dad a long time to figure out how to operate a VCR, and after watching his first movie on a rented disc, as he was getting ready to return it he asked me “Do I need to rewind this first”?
Why does anyone give this clown any free space. Let him pay.
Hillary and Hawking sitting in a tree.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes Trump
Then he beats Hillary
Then comes proof that the Hawking is a complete idiot
The End.
Here are some other public intellectuals: Obama, revolutionary-communist/terrorists Bill Ayers and wife Bernardine Dorn.

He is a sub-atomic particle/astrophysicist.
He's used to having his models be wrong.
Hawking is in more dire need of a blow job than any white man in history!”
If history is a teacher, “waiting” results in a great deal of suffering and death.
Also, stop means stop, not kick the can down the road like Kerry/Obama did with Iran.
Stephen, if you keep your dumbassery up Trump will push your chair over the cliff !
How does a human being renew a tree?
LMAO!
RE: The photo of “stack emissions”
With the sun BEHIND the emissions causes doubt as to whether it is pollution or simply water vapor (steam).
The outer edges, not obscuring the sun indicate (1) the emissions ARE steam and that (2) the photo was SPECIFICALLY composed to show a much “darker” emission output in an attempt to convince the “layman” it is pollution.

Being a commie moron cancels out any smartness someone pretends to have.
What he should do is invent devices that use no energy, devices that give off no CO2, invent devices that used energy in the atmosphere etc. Do something rather than write science fiction to affect the climate. Otherwises shut up
With Hawking I had been chalking up the foolish things he says off subject to just a smart man addicted to attention. But this latest example makes me fear there has to have beeen some mental deterioration as well. Its not even plausible on an “ancient aliens” or “coast to coast am” scale.
As my Mother told me years ago, “some people are so smart, they’re stupid”.
I didn’t really get what she meant then, but I sure do get it now.
