Full headline: HAWK AND DOVE Stephen Hawking fears Trump could ‘push Earth over the brink’ and start chain reaction which wipes out humanity.
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.”
The famed physicist and doom monger also fears that “evolution has inbuilt greed and aggression to the human genome”, meaning that we might wipe ourselves out before Earth turns into Venus.

Genius with 0 common sense.....not atypical.
“Over 250 degrees and sulfuric acid rain?”
This is how liberals see the world without Socialism..
I have always wondered if this guy is a fraud. Or else he has been hanging around with the Marxist fraud Pope.
Stephen Hawking is a fraud!!
Me, too. What has he done that’s so great? There also seems to be a creepy, freakish obsession with his sex life.
If it’s only three years I’m out to buy a Ferrari!
Did you scroll down and read some of the comments? Kinda the way I’ve always felt about this guy. Just because you’re disabled doesn’t give you a pass for being a dumb ass while being declared a genius.
Hawking is worshipped because people feel sorry for him. I dare anyone to mention one accomplishment other than being in a wheelchair. That is his super power. He just said Trump was going to raise the temperature of the planet by 250 degrees. That is not going to happen, and so that means I am more intelligent than he is, and he is a loon.
Agree, in theory one of the smartest people on the planet, all wrapped up in political fantasy.
Mygosh. Obama presided over out-of-control regime change and the civilization-ending chaos which has followed. Now there’s something that will end mankind if it isn’t reversed.
Another "pot smoking" professor's predictions? However, odumbo failed in his attempt to totally destroy America although he damned near succeeded. Thank God Trump was elected so Hitlary couldn't follow in odumbo's footsteps and complete the job.
Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of two hundred and fifty degrees...
President Hillary Clinton would have made Earth Hell.
Said the human bottle-opener, that lacks any other purpose.
“By denying the evidence for climate change”
Because none exists. Faulty, historically wrong computer models are not evidence.
Genius intelligence but lacking wisdom. In addition, knowledge in a field does not make one an expert on all things. Since when did Hawking become a climatologist with the necessary understanding of the various climate models? Finally, no one would be hearing his point of view on this if he wasn’t a climate alarmist. Only pro-global warming opinions get much press.
It’s time for that guy to hand in his wheel chair podium. Has has gone too far in his idiot opinions.
“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”
And just how would that happen being that Venus became a greenhouse planet from water vapor? All the CO2 in its atmosphere came later on from the surface, CO2 that was trapped in rocks which was released and which the water vapor trapped in the atmosphere. Is Trump currently increasing water vapor in the atmosphere? Water vapor is the main culprit not CO2 but of course you can’t make money from banning the ocean

*************
Where was his fear when Obama facilitated Iran’s development of nuclear weapons? That certainly could lead to a devastating attack on humanity. The hypocrisy of these elites is breath taking.
