rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted October 6, 2015 Now see I posted my end of the world thing under Conspiracy Theories.... Probably a boner. But the line of demarcation is thin. Duly noted for next time. It was nice knowing all of you btw should this come to fruition. I can almost guarantee it's the end of the line for a few humans tomorrow. SC There's already a bit of an out in the article - 'there’s an unlikely possibility that it will not'. I'll check the Guardian tomorrow and if it says the world hasn't ended I'll know we're OK. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted December 5, 2015 No prediction as such but I went running this morning in my shorts and cut the fucking grass around lunchtime. This is England in December. Unless the talking shop in Paris sorts out a decent deal those not drowning in floods will fry in the hot summers by 2097, or summat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,978 Posted December 6, 2015 No prediction as such but I went running this morning in my shorts and cut the fucking grass around lunchtime. This is England in December. Unless the talking shop in Paris sorts out a decent deal those not drowning in floods will fry in the hot summers by 2097, or summat. In that context, El Nino is going to be huuuuge this year: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/el-nio-set-become-mega-6958469 Though personally, I was even more scard by the news this week that in the past 40 years, 30% of all arable land on earth has been destroyed: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/dec/02/arable-land-soil-food-security-shortage In fact, because of this, I now have the opinion that food needs to be more expensive, and competition in agriculture needs to be curtailed. It's like overfishing. Another reason the new free trade agreements need to be killed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

themaninblack 2,112 Posted January 28, 2016 So a planet on the outer reaches of the solar system (5 billion miles +) is just going to happen to hit the Earth within one calender year? Well that makes sense to me. What next, the Earth is flat? 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted February 8, 2016 The Doomsday Clock has its own pages on the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists website. Not quite sure why they leave the Cuban Missile Crisis or various other near misses from accidental radar blips, etc, off their timeline. At any rate, it is currently ht e worst it has been since 1984: http://thebulletin.org/timeline Stats they consider when setting the clock (If you hover over the pie chart segment where it says USA 58, it turns out that the Yanks have lost 14 nuclear material shipments and had 27 stolen in the last 5 years ): http://thebulletin.org/doomsday-dashboard There is a poll on the right-hand side of this page where you can vote on where you think the hands should be set. Hours of fun for the whole family.... http://thebulletin.org/press-release/doomsday-clock-hands-remain-unchanged-despite-iran-deal-and-paris-talks9122 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,228 Posted January 25, 2018 In my opinion, I don’t think the Cold War ever truly ended. Instead, I think it hit a period where the tension died down. I think it’ll come back now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_engineer 1,415 Posted January 25, 2018 Apart from North Korea what could realistically start world war 3? There is no appetite for it, china won't go into a nuclear war for north korea and north korea would be swiftly taken care of in a war. A war between North Korea and USA wouldn't be global annihilation . Civil war in Europe and USA is more likely than a global war . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
