They can’t predict what the temperature will be in Bugtussle, Oklahoma, on November 25, 2013.

Yet, they think they can predict a disaster some 867 years in the future.

I would trust Miss Cleo’s predictions more.

Little did I know how better the ‘70s would look in the rearview mirror.

By 2880 they’ll have healthcare.gov up and running...

It's worth staying alive just to see how this clusterf*** shakes out.

Essentially.

This represents current orbital path with as high an accuracy as they can get. Though most things in space are predictable enough for estimates of location. Likely it’ll be off a bit.

Reasonably, if current western civ continues on its path, we’ll be backwater nations dealing with basic infrastructure issues and won’t be able to deal with it. The Asians, notably Chinese and Russians will probably be the ones to rescue the world. So far they’re the only ones interested in running a country that doesn’t try and destroy itself.

Astronomical.

We need to ban asteroids or at least set up an asteroid free zone around the Earth.

Maybe by then they’ll have gotten over 5,000 people all the way through!

In 800 years our economy will have fully reverted back to the dark ages. Most of humanity will likely already have been killed off by leftist and Muslim idiocy.

If we can’t stop an asteroid by 2880, we deserve to get wiped out.

That pretty much sums it up.

Of course, they probably realize scientists are full of crap. But we need to give them more money so they can study it.

Please. Most scientists dedicate their lives to trying to learn better how the world works, so as to improve the lives of everyone. If you have ever had medical treatment, flown in an airplane without crashing, used a microwave, telephone, washing machine, or other modern equipment, you can thank countless scientists behind the scenes who study biology, physics, and chemistry to make modern life possible. Very few scientists are climate change alarmists; don't judge all of us by them.

That’s because neither Russia nor China is being run by a Kenyan.

What I like is, *even if* the applications make it through the website, the data is corrupted when it gets to the insurance company.

bible says sooner....revelation 8 talking about an event at the end of days...

7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.

8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.

this is just part of the prophecy. you can laugh but I would say the bible has a pretty amazing rate of accuracy when it comes to the 2000 prophecies contained in it so I pay attention.

The guys who do Global Warming predictions figured it out in their spare time.
