The sun is going to extinguish in the next few billiion years. It will burn out. It will be depleted of all the fuel necessary for it to provide life here. When it goes we go. Unless we go someplace else. The human race will cease to exist.

Unless we get hit by a meteor again which kills most everythign on the planet.

Or maybe the Ebola virus mutates into a form which manifests symptom free until after 7 days, where it's communicable during that period, then everybdoy dies.

Or maybe they'll be another Krakatoa.

Or maybe there will be another multicentury warm period exceeding ours.

Or maybe there will be another mini ice age, the likes of which ended almost two centuries ago.

Or maybe think about this. If there really is global warming, will we really need oil/natural gas/coal/wood to heat, fuel and run homes in temperate areas which would otherwise need heat and fuel for people to stay warm, cook, log on to their computers, watch TV, grow organic foods, power machinery to build bicycles and drive their SUV in snow?

The comments and suggestions here regarding skepticism of the "enviromental" issue are actually pure genious.
