Answer 4

Well, personally I am a bit concerened about June 13th, if we get past that, then we have at least four years.  On June 13th Scientists are going to slam two particles together at quite an alarming rate and quite possible create a black hole on earth, these scientists are under attack from a legal case - danger to humanity as a whole. So if they don't kill us we have to wait until 2012 when Planet X (look it up under NASA)  comes close to our orbit and could, if you believe the hype, really F**k things up.  What can you do ?  Cheerio!

Answer 7

Whether or not we are willing to make individual sacrifices in the interest of the greater good.  Until then, we will all be looking for some solution that doesn't really impact significantly on OUR lives.  Unfortunately, things will probably have to get so bad for people to do that (on a global scale) that we will then be at a point of no return.
