Pondering the end of the world turns out to be a 21st century preoccupation. Doomsday has never seemed nearer than now. “Polls conducted in 2012 across 20 countries found over 14% of people believe the world will end in their lifetime … The general public believed the likeliest cause would be nuclear war, while experts thought it would be artificial intelligence. Only 3% of Britons thought the end would be caused by the Last Judgement. People who proclaim they ‘trust the science’ are especially sunk in gloom. For example Greta Thunberg’s message to young people is ‘you are not going to reach adulthood because of climate change’. Greta famously wrote,

Greta, you're not going to reach adulthood no matter how long you live. That's pretty much the case with every leftist.

I feel sorry for the young. Most of what they hear are depressing lies. My generation had a youth that could look forward to the challenges and joy of adulthood. Today? Broke, no skills, a lying government... There is only one hope for them as has been since the first Christmas.

There has always been a segment of the population who like to keep everyone in terror. When I was growing up we were all going to get nuked. There were enough nukes to destroy the entire world 8,326 times over or some such carp. When my kids were teens it was the dreaded, the terrifying Y2K bug. I think when all life didnt end that night, people were disappointed.
Nowadays we have those stupid clickbait ads that have some clown telling you over and over how right he has been over the years and he's willing to sell you his predictions, which are a bargain because hes been right so many times before. After 10 or 15 minutes of the jerk sayng nothing over and over, you close the window and get warnings about what will happen if you close the window. The web address is usually some scary word with a number after it, like "radiation 103.com". They do it because people fall for it.
History isn't ending. We are in a bad place for sure. We as a free people may never recover. But the world isn't ending.

Christ has told us! The Bible gives us the exact things that will happen! Good News! We win in the end when Christ returns!

Greta will never reach adulthood because she is emotionally stunted. She will always be a dumb ignorant kid that never grows up. Seriously, she should wear sack cloth and ashes when she takes her doom and gloom show on the road. She is totally a product of our media. They gave her multiple stages to 'perform' on. It doesn't speak well of our media in any form. Question everything they say because they aren't about informing people. They are about manipulating people. Tell me why we should listen to any of them. People have been claiming the end times are upon us for millennia. They make money on it.
Don't think the world will end. It will get more violent. The thieving savages have guns now instead of clubs and there are more of them. Don't look for the government to fix this. The thieving savages run the government. They are organized. They have armies. The good news is they cannot sustain themselves on their own. The civilized people will let them collapse.

I have to laugh at the Warmies. So naive. Earth will keep chugging along. Whether we're here or not...? More likely to be from the Elites who are hyperventilating about 8,000,000,000 worldwide population! That where and why all this crap is coming from. We 'commoners' are using up the Elites oil, gas, water, food, you name it. They pay people to come up with ways to kill us off. Covid vaccines, transgenderism, wars, and meanwhile they take control of everyone's freedom.
Lots of ways to die. We all ARE going to die, eventually. Make it count for those who come after you.

Climate change has always been happening, but it has nothing to do with human production of CO2. Changes like this occur on the scale of thousands of years and not worth worrying about on the scale of a human lifespan. Nuclear weapons have probably brought more peace to the world than any time in history because nobody believes they can use them without causing their own destruction. Politics evolves over time and reflects the beliefs and culture of their populace. "American culture" has evolved in the 20th and 21st centuries into a sectarian, hedonistic, and nihilistic amalgam of memes and mythologies. This has made us subject to control by technological elites who merged their interests with global political and financial institutions to form a ruling oligarchy above the laws of any particular country.
This looks like the "Spiral of Crisis" cycle that precedes the "Regeneracy" cycle depicted in the 1998 book "The Fourth Turning". The "Spiral of Crisis" ends with a climax that reshapes civilization irreversibly. The Regeneracy period begins when one group ends the crisis through reconciliation and renewal of the social order. This begins a period of great growth and rapid change but at the cost of marginalizing the elder citizens who were the cultural elites in the earlier cycles. This can be either good or bad depending on what group you belong to, but it has been a repeating pattern in history since the 17th century.

When someone is predicting the end of the world and you are able to make a bet, always take the over. Someday, they may be right but until then you'll win every time.

I haven’t seen a Fernandez article in some time. Very nice.
I think most humans would come to believe anything that they hear repeated every day incessantly.
And yet none of them believe it: if bidet believed in climate change he wouldn’t burn 700,000 pounds of jet fuel a week just to sleep in a different bed. So he’s either a War (on Global Warming) Criminal or global warming isn’t an imminent threat and he knows it. If global warming were a real imminent threat, gasoline would be rationed, travel would be rationed, all energy would be rationed; there would not be 4000 private jets flying to Egypt for a meet and greet.
It’s all “Sale ends tomorrow!!” And “You must act now!” Marketing.
If your believing friends thought it was real they would NOT go on idle vacations or use electricity at night. They’re all fakes and frauds. “Global warming is real, but I’m just going to carry on as if it isn’t.”
I have a constant sense of nausea.

We are passengers on the rock orbiting a medium sized star. The only thing special here is that God created human beings here. But we are NOT in charge of how the planet runs, we react to how things far outside our control change by themselves, as God set the world in motion to do.
Relax, enjoy your days, they are too few, and love your family and your friends. And pray for guidance and forgiveness for the errors and sins that we all make. Soon enough we'll be answering for them.

I believe the world will end one day, but it won't be because leftists will destroy it while trying to save it. Sin is racking up judgement, and I'm concerned that God is wrapping this thing up. He promises a new heaven and earth though, so I'm with Jesus, whatever and whenever He decides to do the thing.

Maybe not the end of the world but we are getting to be as depraved as what was described in the Bible and look what happened to those people. Evil attract evils and all the negativity that goes with it. Humans will never learn.
