Only a Few Days Until The End of The World As We Know It.........

..........according to predictions.

If you can't see the photo, it is a news headline from 2004 claiming global warming will cause all sorts of disaster by 2020.  We are almost there so there must be a huge disaster coming soon.

Man made climate change isn't working, even those who claim to believe in it rate it at the bottom of their concerns.

The hidden rulers need a new ploy to scare the masses into submission.

Earth bound asteroids gets my vote.

Maybe some aliens have picked up transmissions of The Jerry Springer Show and the relativistic bombs are on their way to stop them.

We've always been at war with Eurasia.

It's a classic strategy for scaring the masses for a reason.

Earth bound asteroids gets my vote.

At least that is actually a world-ending possibility.

We were suppose to out of food, out of oil, and be under a mile of ice by the end of the 1970s.
Every 20 years or so the Chicken Littles of the world move the end of the world back 20 years or so and the "science" is settled on the matter of the cause of the week.

Forecasting doom and gloom timelines is an art - disaster has to be close enough to worry people, but far enough in the future that they'll forget your prediction when time is up.

It's harder now with the internet to count on people forgetting - for example, for some years Rush Limbaugh's page was counting down Algore's disaster timeline; based on Algore's global warming disaster prediction, we all were wiped out several years ago.

And then of course some people claimed that the Mayan calendar predicted the end of the world in 2011. Oops - it was just the Mayan calendar rolling over.

December 21 or 22, 2012.  The end of the 13th bak'tun, if I recall correctly and have the apostrophe in the right place.  :)

And occasionally you see predictions that are much older.  I think it was seen as something to sell newspapers or getting the gullible to buy something. 

Come to think of it, I recall there were lots of people worried about Halley's Comet back in the early 1900's since the Earth sort of passed through its tail or so I heard.  It was barely big enough to see with binoculars when I was a kid.
