Its not a script for the next science-fiction thriller, but renowned British scientist James Lovelock is giving human civilization less than 32 years before all hell breaks loose because of the effects of global warming.

There is a God....
China will be devastated, but as a result of their water policies and pollution, not GW.
You’re right. I just saw that on the History Channel. December 21, 2012, is the day the world ends.
Global warming is ga...I mean, Gaia.
Whatever happened to all that HN51 crap I got mandatory training for last year? This is to much.
The Mayans?
We're all going to dye. The wife has the eggs ready to go and I've got the little hook thangy.
That’s a nice security system on that van.
People adapt to changing conditions. As do most other living creatures.
Polar bears may even turn out to be quite a trophy for the big game hunters, as they come ashore in northern Canada and compete with wolves and grizzlies for the swelling herds of caribou.
And bananas growing in Labrador doesn’t sound so bad.
Water vapor is 95% of all greenhouse gases. Everything man contributes is meaningless.
