“What is being said this morning is not being heard,” Brown said. “It’s being ignored. It’s being denied.”
There's good cause. Look at all the predictions from Christianity about "the end is nigh!" and how it is scoffed at.

We only live in a small snippet of time, scientific catastrophism is rather new on the seen/genre. When another century is past history can place people like Greta and Al Gore alongside Harold Camping.

It very probable in my view because of mankind's adaptive capability.

Now if Bernie Sanders is elected....
Amazon gives people everything Bernie promised them. They get $15 an hour, medical, dental, optical & their tuition paid for by the company. Only problem is they actually have to work and only 20% of the people are ready, willing and able to work to earn their money. So what are we going to do with the ones that quit their job even though they were given everything they asked for? Bezos is about as liberal as you can get so you can not blame the conservatives for this one.

Governor Moonbeam himself......

He might know when the moon is going to stop shining?

Moonbeam you left us short on water here in Ca because you would not build reservoirs. You hate tractors and cars. The train to nowhere guy.

Depends on what you mean by return and what you mean by end of the world.
return as in taking all alive and dead saints home and placing sinners in hell and end of the world as in he will destroy this world and make a new one for us

You are talking about three different events that take place at three different times and places. Lot is a type of the Church and the Saints or Bride are removed from the Earth before the Tribulation period when God pours out His wrath upon the world. Sinners are put in hell when He returns at the end of the Tribulation period. This is when His feet touch the ground at the Mount of Olives at the same place he left the earth from. The end of the world takes place at the end of the 1,000 year reign of Christ at the end of the Tribulation period. Death - hell & the grave will be thrown into the lake of fire and this is the second death. All who are not written in the Lambs book of life.

And before anyone says Trump is this leader (anti-Christ) I must get this in...The anti-Christ will be loved by the masses across the world. LOL Trump ain't that guy. :)

Trumps agenda is antichrist. The unholy alliance of the religious right and trumpism. Evangelicals have been bewitched by this evil man.

We are living in very dark times and things are getting darker.

The clock the moves backwards at times and stops at others. The same clock that people like Hal Lindsey (I think it was in his out-of-print book, "Countdown to Armageddon"), John Hagee and friends used (still do?) as an indication that were seeing the signs and the end is near. It's some Western fetish with apocalyptic scenarios and outcomes...for everything. Everything is imagined as always being in crisis, at a tipping point, the beginning of the end, nearing midnight, unsustainable, etc...
I read Hal Lindsey’s book, “The Late Great Planet Earth,” in the 70’s. His predictions and interpretations were warped and many have forgotten him.

Doomsday Clock is 100 seconds to midnight, the symbolic hour of the apocalypse

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is moving the Doomsday Clock up to 100 seconds to midnight — a metaphor for the end of the world — in a recognition of growing threats from nuclear war, climate change and disinformation.

It is the first time the clock has passed the two-minute mark in more than 70 years of existence, a testament to the need for urgent action, the Bulletin said Thursday, as the nonprofit’s leader warned of influential leaders who “denigrate and discard the most effective methods for addressing complex threats.”

“The challenge is what do we do about it?” President Rachel Bronson told The Washington Post. In the clock’s grimmest moment ever, she believes years of dire warnings have begun to break through.

“People are starting to get it,” Bronson said, pointing to the movement ignited by teen climate activist Greta Thunberg. “But we need our leaders to be responding.”

Jerry Brown, the former California governor who serves as executive chair for the Bulletin, had a darker message after the clock was unveiled. The longtime Democratic politician said he sees “a world of vast, deep and pervasive complacency” toward the Doomsday Clock’s message across the political spectrum.

“What is being said this morning is not being heard,” Brown said. “It’s being ignored. It’s being denied.”

The temperature in Death Valley, CA was 116 degrees F in July. Over 300 people lived there.

Climate change is a source of worry. Florida ocean view, beachfront property is yet selling at a premium to homes on higher ground inland.

In Matthew 24 (World English Bible) Jesus predicted confrontations between nations, famines, plagues and earthquakes in various places. These are not the end of the world.

In the same speech Jesus said, “The Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”

If I needed confirmation that those guys are a bunch of irrelevant political hacks, they just provided it.

Again.

I lmao, but I guess this is serious. I think it's based on nuclear war and AGW. Nuclear was probably won't happen if Iran doesn't get to make the bomb. Moreover, I'm more concerned about a dirty bomb being created and exploded by terrorists. That would call for cries of using nukes in retaliation if a country is identified which could set off a global conflict..

Actually, we have not had WW III due to the creation of nuclear weapons. The thinking is MAD prevents the horrors of having a global nuclear war. As for AGW, CO2 is probably good for humans. We also can build large fans to deal with excess and help find and pump out cleaner crude oil.

Sounds like another Hail Mary to try and impeach Trump before he gets re-elected this year. Thus, I'll sit on the sidelines and just get ready for my Niners playing the Chiefs in SB 54.
