I don't pay attention to science-flavored doomsday predictions. Why? Because none of them ever, ever come true.

1524 We're all gonna die when the planets line up
1910 We're all gonna die when Halley's Comet poisons the atmosphere
1919 We’re all gonna die when the Sun explodes...
1982 We’re all gonna die when the planets line up
1999 We’re all gonna die when the new millennium arrives
2003 We're all gonna die when the planets line up
2008 We’re all gonna die when the Large Hadron Collider makes black holes...
2011 We're all gonna die when Comet Elenin slams into Earth
2012 We're all gonna die when the Mayan calendar runs out

Humanity: *relieved chuckle* Oh, well. Guess those predictions were a bit silly.

2019 We're all gonna die when climate change kills us
And like apocalyptic preachers, climate doomsayers tell us the world will end in 12 years. Do you know how many times we've been told that it's X years until "time runs out"? And when that fails to happen, like those apocalyptic preachers, they just change the doomsday date.
How many times does this need to happen before you ignore these predictions?

If you're interested in different perspectives on the climate change debate, I recommend you follow:

I've lost count of how many times we've crossed the point of return.
