Scientists move Doomsday Clock: Global warming apparently an imminent threat
American Thinker ^ | 01/24/2015 | Rick Moran

A hundred years from now, if we're all dead because of global warming, scientists have my permission to spit on my grave.

But that's 100 years in the future. So why did the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists move their iconic Doomsday Clock 2 minutes closer to midnight and cite global warming as a major reason? The proliferation and modernization of nukes I can understand. Human civilization can be destroyed in half an hour if there was a large scale nuclear exchange.

But by the time the terrible effects of global warming are supposedly to be felt to the fullest, you and I and all the scientists caught up in this issue will be dead. Why not cite death by a gamma ray burst or a comet striking the earth? Those events are just as likely to occur over the next 100 years as catastrophic global warming.

From CNN:

"Today, unchecked climate change and a nuclear arms race resulting from modernization of huge arsenals pose extraordinary and undeniable threats to the continued existence of humanity. And world leaders have failed to act with the speed or on the scale required to protect citizens from potential catastrophe," said Kennette Benedict, executive director of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, in a news release. "These failures of leadership endanger every person on Earth."

They are completely panic-stricken that the peasants are not swallowing their propaganda.

Obama’s election should have taken up half of the remaining time.

And how does one “check” the seasons that are now, allegedly, “unchecked”?

God help us. This world gets dumber by the day. And stupid people are far more dangerous than smart ones.

A buddy asked “How can they continue to write such garbage?”

I told him “More often than not, with a Macbook Air”.

The sooner we get past the “tipping point” the better. Then there is noting we can do about according to the experts except enjoy our lives and forget about this hoax.
