As the scientist who helped eradicate smallpox he certainly know a thing or two about extinction.

And now Professor Frank Fenner, emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National University, has predicted that the human race will be extinct within the next 100 years.

He has claimed that the human race will be unable to survive a population explosion and 'unbridled consumption.’

Fenner told The Australian newspaper that 'homo sapiens will become extinct, perhaps within 100 years.'

'A lot of other animals will, too,' he added.

'It's an irreversible situation. I think it's too late. I try not to express that because people are trying to do something, but they keep putting it off.'

Since humans entered an unofficial scientific period known as the Anthropocene - the time since industrialisation - we have had an effect on the planet that rivals any ice age or comet impact, he said.

Thus the Hedonists were right.....maybe not in their heyday, but now.

Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we will die.

looks to me like humans are extinct already...all we got are a buncha gorillas hangin' around over here...

'banana, Mr Kong?'

'thank you, how very simian of you...'

I guess I better get out there and annihilate a few more species then. I think I've given up on producing more children. I've always said we need fewer doctors, no politicians or lawyers and more guns and drugs. Left alone, we do a pretty good job of killing each other and cutting down the population. It's all those do-gooders out there that are screwing things up. .

well if you listen to all the other experts he is 98 years out..

supposed to be curtains at 2012

If you lot go extinct, if there is any beer left in your fridge can I have it ?

No, there's a bottle of strange Thai liqueur at the back of the china cabinet if you want it.

Be well matured by now.

I will be extinct in 100 years, so why shouldn't everyone else?

I tried that one in an essay in high school an' the teacher gave me a 'C'...she scrawled somethin' like 'well written as per usual but pointless and absurd'...she useta be my fren'...

She'd obviously never seen Bedlam

well, yew know....high schools with the attendant adolescent hormonal excursions, youthful rebellion, etc., could be construed to be 'a bedlam' of sorts...high school teachers in many cases are no more fortunate than prison/asylum warders, although university educated, of course...

just like in prison you have the compassionate warders (liberal arts teachers), the sadistic warders (science teachers and PE coaches), etc...(tutsi is backed into a corner by three large sized football coaches: 'yew gonna get that hair cut soon, boy?'...)

high schools are a mirror of their respective civilizations...

There was another "expert" named Malthus, who made the same prediction 200 years ago. And he was WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!

Now that's a strange name...Malthus Wrong Wrong wrong. What were his parents thinking ? ( negative thoughts I expect )

I dun care, another 30 years will see me out with sum to spare.

Eat, Drink and be Merry

WHY ME WORRY

Why Me Worry, was indeed a famous and wise Chinese philosopher

Why Me Worry, was indeed a famous and wise Chinese philosopher

Yeah, actually Alfred E Newman said that.

Playboy fame.

Just because Alf said " Playboy fame " does not make him a Chinese philosopher ( Tsk some people, no learning ).

Neva intimated A.E.N. was a chinaman.

A Chinaman is a variety/type of delivery specific to purveyors of left arm spin bowling in cricket

I know a left arm spinner who got a package from UPS.

So yet again matey, you are totally wrong, Not only are UPS in general devoid of Chinamen, but it was a Filipino who delivered it !!!! Haa aahhahah

Let me check my calendar and see what I have planned for that date. Is that 100 years from today? Anyone know what day of the week that will be?

Assuming this is true (I tend to believe it actually) what if anything should the last of us change in our daily lives in response to this?

Underwear and beer, nothing else matters.

I spent fifteen years in the Army and for quite a lot of that time was not able to have either of those items. Have to agree with my ol' mate Suiging

Cold beer and clean underwear - what more do you need? With both you can have anything else your heart desires

No he knows a lot about smallpox and bugger all about predictions. I see that the article appears in the Daily Mail that newspaper of record

Lord Rothermere, the proprietor of the Daily Mail was a friend and supporter of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.

Rothermere wrote an article entitled "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", in January 1934, praising Mosley for his "sound, commonsense, Conservative doctrine"

The Daily Mail is filth.

I'll skip the underwear, thanks.

Good Riddance. Human beings the most destructive thing to walk the planet of earth. Vile creatures.

Work it out from this day in 100 years

I will be married exactly 100years and 1 month......WOW !!!!!!

We're all doomed, DOOMED I tell you!

You'd think at least one of these academics could try and be a little more precise. Why a hundred years? Why not 87 years, three months, two weeks, four days at 11:23pm? That at least sounds like a bit of science has been used to arrive at it.

Anyway it's come from the Mail, that rag ain't even any good as toilet paper. It's been used already.
