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.

Hey now. I went to Guam as an infant in ‘47 and it nearly tipped over. Tried for 2 years to get it to flip with no success.

The lump of protoplasm that was Stephen Hawking now has any eye twitch interpreted by some ultra lib butt wipe. Hawking may have come up with a few theories, but he is vastly overrated and physics doesn't make him a universal expert.

Here is an answer from God for people like that through all of the ages:

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Romans 1:19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Romans 1:21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:22 Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Romans 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Romans 1:24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them (homosexuality - huge problem in this day and time).
Romans 1:25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

He’s our Affirmative Action White Guy.

He’s a mathematician not a geologist or anthropologist. And he’s showing his ignorance on climate change.

As a physicist, i never like these so called genius’ philosophical rants. And now he ventures into politics, another acumen he’s ignorant with.

There’s plenty of evidence climate change occurs... it’s been warmer than this before, and colder thn this before. What there is insufficient evidence for is the warmists’ theory of why it occurs- that it’s all man’s fault, etc.... what its consequences will be, and of course, what we should or can do about it.

There are so many differences between Earth and Venus, it isn’t funny. Venus is closer to the Sun, its atmosphere is 96 percent CO2, its atmosphere is 100 times denser than Earth’s, a day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus, Venus rotates backwards (compared to Earth and compared to its orbital direction. Venus has no moon. Venus has no magnetic field. The only thing similar between Venus and Earth their diameters. Earth has much more in common with Mars, but they are still very different, as well.

Genius’s often weave in and out of madness a fine line is a dangerous area.
