James Lovelock was interviewed on the Today programme this morning.  He was talking about impending environmental Armageddon but was sounding coherent and chipper for a 99 year old.

 

One of only two living people born before 1920 that I'm surprised has never snuck on a Deathlist before.

 

The other being Diana Athill.

Sheila Mercier June Spencer William Coors Yasuhiro Nakasone Morton Sobell and Earl Cameron all strike me as Deathlist worthy too.

I'd imagine.

Oh wait, that's not what I think it might be is it?

One person who should be on our radar is Yuri Organessian who is the only living scientist to have an element named after him. UK Obits would be guaranteed. No specific health information but he is 85 now.

FTFY. Yes, when I was young the 118th element was ununoctium, then they really synthesized it and now it is Oganesson.

A Canadian Bitcoin trader who managed the QuadrigaCX fund died on a trip in India. He died of Crohn's disease. Sad, can happen. But he happened to be the only one with password access to the fund. No one has succeeded in breaking the codes and it is now feared that a fortune of 127 million Euro is gone!

Wallace Smith Bloecker aged 87.

 

Coined the term "Global Warming" back in '75.

 

It is unsure yet if he died of heatstroke.

 

https://www.dailyherald.com/article/20190218/news/302189914/

 

He will decompose faster than 20 years ago.

 

He is actually a POS because knuckle-dragging Neanderthal uneducated right-wingers (present company excepted :P) honestly believe that ‘climate change’ has fuckall to do with the outside temperature.  Dumbasses.  ‘Oh it’s cold today no such thing as global warming’. Brilliant muthafukkas right there.  

 

So, rot in hell you garbage Wallace Bloecker.
