Daily Dose of Doom Thread

Talk about doom.  How did that get there?  She has NO idea.   

Please.   They are way, way more stories about men with weird stuff in their orifices.

PRO TIP:
Don't text that word from your work phone, lest it autocorrect poorly.

And let me just take this opportunity to apologize again to Karen.
I really did mean that we should get together in your office.

Over 100 dead in latest ebola outbreak

Yeah, yeah, I've heard that before.  Ebola totally let me down two years ago.

[TSmith34, Inc.]

I suspect I'd be a lot more terrified of the The Doom Show if I could understand more than a quarter of what he is saying.

7-degree rise in global temperatures by 2100

https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/trump-administration-sees-a-7-degree-rise-in-global-temperatures-by-2100/2018/09/27/b9c6fada-bb45-11e8-bdc0-90f81cc58c5d_story.html

Last month, deep in a 500-page environmental impact statement, the Trump administration made a startling assumption: On its current course, the planet will warm a disastrous 7 degrees by the end of this century.

A rise of 7 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 4 degrees Celsius, compared with preindustrial levels would be catastrophic, according to scientists. Many coral reefs would dissolve in increasingly acidic oceans. Parts of Manhattan and Miami would be underwater without costly coastal defenses. Extreme heat waves would routinely smother large parts of the globe.

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with either of these cities going underwater.

Holy mother of god, there are only two Arby's on Manhattan.  They need 100, and I'm the man to bring that to them.

Who's with me?

It's worse than you think.  They knowingly, and intentionally don't want Arby's on their island.  That is why we should just let the floodwaters take their blasphemous souls.

I find most of the doom topics pretty amusing.  This one...not so much.

Let's face it, there is zero percent chance the world collectively pulls its sh!t together and decreases greenhouse gases by 45%.  Zero.  We're going to have to figure out a not-prohibitively-expensive way to suck the gases out of the air and sequester them, and even then we are probably f'd because the ocean will have become a huge heat sink.

Now there's a man who had his Arby's today.

Not yet, but I'm thinkin' it.

Not necessarily. They are getting pretty darn close to being able to make a baby without swimmers. 

The end of males, maybe.....

Which is probably OK in the grand scheme of things.  Humans had a nice run.  Time for evolution to work its magic and replace us with something better.
