Xircal Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't wish to be the bearer of bad tidings but today, the Doomsday Clock moved three minutes closer to midnight. That's the time Armageddon is supposed to wipe the human race from the face of planet. Reasons given for the adjustment are global warming and the continued development of nuclear weapons.As far as global warming is concerned, methane is the main danger and around 5.5 million metric tones of the stuff is produced every year solely by cows. That equates to around 20% of global emissions according to the US Environment Protection Agency.Methane is a good source of energy, but harnessing it is the main problem. If you suffer from flatulence yourself, here's what can happen if you try to light one: http://youtu.be/hluzdmzrpKo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

up-country_sinclair Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 50 years ago I would have welcomed this as an excellent reason not to do my homework. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soihok Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 So how long do we have before the end of the world? I had hoped to see Sheffield United get into the Premiership, but if Mr Reaper from the village has to come around what can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rakman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 With global warming added to the calculation, the clock should have been set way back to noon plus a 100 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Whose doomsday clock are you referring to? I guess it can't be any of the hundreds that have already "ticked past midnight" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakman Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 So how long do we have before the end of the world? Probably a very long time. I've been waiting for "the big one", the long awaited San Andreas earthquake in southern California, for 57 years, and they keep saying it will happen in the next 30 years. I'm running out of time.
