Reasons Why The End of The World Is Bullshit

1. Scientists claim that the sun will turn into a red giant & cause a supernova. Well, for one, I deem this impossible for two reasons. The first reason is that red stars are generally cool & not hot. The second reason is that I find there to not be any logical explanation as to how this could happen.

2. Global warming is just bullshit. I don't believe in it at all.

3. I seriously doubt humans will become extinct. Even though it's hard to believe, we are the smartest beings to ever live on this planet so I doubt we'll ever become extinct. We are the top predators on the planet so this reason is flawed.

Honestly, these are just a few reasons why I think the whole end of the world argument is bogus. I do know that the world can end, I just don't think that it will.

1. It doesn't matter whether the sun cools down or warms up. It kills life on earth without a problem. And the logical reason for believing it could happen is because it happens to all stars.

2. It's been happening forever.

3. Being the top predators is a disadvantage in many respects. Usually, predators don't reproduce as quickly as prey. Also, predators store 80% of the toxins of their prey in their fat, which mostly affects DNA. This is why an insect population can recover from DDT within months but bird populations take years...sometimes decades, to recover.

When the stars' core runs out it will become a red sun, then go supernova. It will eventually burn out. But probably not for billions of years.

Well duh, then it'll be blackhole-ville

I hope you guys aren't serious. Have you read any of the things posted in this thread?

No supernova or nova and no black holes. Our sun would have to be much more massive to supernova and our sun would have to be the older of 2 or more stars to nova. (Nova is not the same as a supernova....two entirely different processes.) OUr sun would have to be much much much bigger to collapse into a black hole once it supernovas.

It's nothing to believe in, it's not like religion, it is happening right now as we speak. It's already begun.

We may be the smartest beings now, but what makes you think we'll be replaced by something else? Something smarter?

For all you know your natural body could be hanging in a friggin' containment cell, while your mind is being manipulated by aliens on a damn spaceship flying across some unknown galaxy, wildly sprouting beanstalks out of their asses.

ya, because that kind of post-modernism has proven soooo beneficial for society...

It was a joke and could be a philosophy

If carbon Dioxide is higher than temperature, then we would have been baked a long time ago and cold would not exist as natural weather anymore. Yet, it still goes on.

I think the entire theory of scientist hiding Global warming is bullshit. Many of them are problably not even getting paid enough for what they do.

The debate is not over since nothing has been proved along many lines. With or without humans on earth, the same things would still occur on earth. But that will take me to whole different story where I defend the human race. 😉

my god these threads should be laid to rest. stop bumping them!! 🙁

The world is coming to an end and global warming is not bullshit.

But by the time the world really does crash and burn, I'll be dead by then so whatever. I'll do what I can now but it won't really effect me.

"Destroying the Earth is harder than you may have been led to believe.

You've seen the action movies where the bad guy threatens to destroy the Earth. You've heard people on the news claiming that the next nuclear war or cutting down rainforests or persisting in releasing hideous quantities of pollution into the atmosphere threatens to end the world.

Fools.

The Earth is built to last. It is a 4,550,000,000-year-old, 5,973,600,000,000,000,000,000-tonne ball of iron. It has taken more devastating asteroid hits in its lifetime than you've had hot dinners, and lo, it still orbits merrily. So my first piece of advice to you, dear would-be Earth-destroyer, is: do NOT think this will be easy.

This is not a guide for wusses whose aim is merely to wipe out humanity. I (Sam Hughes) can in no way guarantee the complete extinction of the human race via any of these methods, real or imaginary. Humanity is wily and resourceful, and many of the methods outlined below will take many years to even become available, let alone implement, by which time mankind may well have spread to other planets; indeed, other star systems. If total human genocide is your ultimate goal, you are reading the wrong document. There are far more efficient ways of doing this, many which are available and feasible RIGHT NOW. Nor is this a guide for those wanting to annihilate everything from single-celled life upwards, render Earth uninhabitable or simply conquer it. These are trivial goals in comparison.

This is a guide for those who do not want the Earth to be there anymore."
