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.

Umm...why not? If Guam can tip, Earth might possibly go over the brink. Whatever floats your boat.

“By denying the evidence for climate change”

Evidence exists, these Marxists just ignore it:

During the Permian extinction, where a volcano erupted for 600,000 years, the CO2 levels were 20 times higher than they are now. Global temps rose 10 degrees C.

One of the reasons Venus is so damn hot is its closer to the son by an additional 30 million miles (~30%).

This guy is getting too emotional, like all the libs.

First, you make him sound like he is the most brilliant man on earth. Of course, leftists think they are brilliant but they can be questioned and they are political.

So here we have Hawking, and Hawking ain’t really talking, but some people are talking for him.

Hawking can push these leftists ideas as settled science and no one can refute him.

What kind of scientist actually believes this bunk? A “theoretical” scientist, I guess, rather than one who has actually done experiments.

Deep thinker.

Thanks to Trump, there will be humans living on the planet in the forseeable future. Without Trump, there would be m*slims living on the surface of the planet, taking the place formerly occupied by humans.

Somebody has to pay for that wheelchair and medical care and that somebody is the government.

He’s a narrative parrot. Polly want a cracker?

...and aside from cameos on Big Bang Theory, he’s a worthless fraud.

Sounds as if Hawkins is having another “Hank (hope Guam doesn’t tip over) Johnson” moment.

And the Paris Accord was going to prevent all that?! These guys... hyperbole is their stock-in-trade.

I've heard the Left accuse Trump of everything from grabbing p*ssies, to killing woman and children, to hating everyone in the world but himself, to eating two scoops instead of one.

But this is a little over the top. One man will destroy the planet?

I am not so much concerned by people like Hawking who spew these ridiculous accusations out of their mouths about Trump.

I am concerned about the nitwits who actually believe this drivel from the Left. They live and walk among us. Now that's a scary thing.

A dogmatic atheist anti-semite with a passionate faith that the Paris Agreement will save the world. This renowned theoretician should show us the math; that’s what he’s supposed to be good at.

Three years until it is too late, is not mentioned by Hawking in this article. He wisely avoids stating a deadline. He should be held to one though. Then after we pass the deadline we can party like Romans at the fall.

I don't know what Stephen Hawking has planned for tomorrow but I am going to celebrate the 4th of July.

Basically Hawking believes in God now... and his God is Donald Trump.

Hawking is a prime example of “Expertise in one field does not mean expertise in all fields!”

Maybe Stephen Hawking should be talking about how we can change Venus to have an atmosphere like the Earth.

I am surprised that Hawking bought into the global warming hoax. Maybe that is why he is a physicist instead of a Systems Engineer, or a genuine atmospheric scientist.

He may be good on methodology but bad on assumptions and data and the scientific method.
