    How long do we have left?

    Ban Ki-moon warns of catastrophe without world deal on climate change

    "The world has less than 10 years to halt the global rise in greenhouse gas emissions if we are to avoid catastrophic consequences for people and the planet."

    I have also heard 20 years, 4 and I think 400 days too.

    Perhaps some of our experts could tell us when will we all be poached alive?

    I might need to adjust my retirement plans.

    thx
    Bored.

    If we are talking about the Andromeda Galaxy collision then there is an alarming 4.5 billion years before being poached alive.



    On the other hand Gamma Rays from Betelgeuse - we perhaps could be seeing the first evidence as I write this - Insure now with Prudential.

      Blimey! I'd better bring the washing in.

      You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

        Still no sunspots - sumfink is up, I'm telling ya.
        How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

            We'll all have starved to death long before being boiled alive.

                Be scientific about it ... http://www.deathclock.com/
