Big deal we lose England. Nothing but a couple funny accents, comedy that makes you want to kill the comedian, and thousands of women that are sixes and sevens at best are lost.

Have you not been paying attention? The Brit's take co-ownership of British Columbia. Pfft. Get with the program. It's the rest of Europe that's fucked. (With the exception of the French; they'll find a way into Quebec.)
Heh, wonderful. After more than 3 million years of biological evolution, and 50 000 years of social evolution in the human species (that is, homo sapiens sapiens), we've finally achieved a technological society that has any hope of sustaining itself in the last two hundred years, and we'd be annihilated (or at least suffer a major setback) when we're mere decades (or centuries at most) from escaping to another planet or to the Moon. Talk about horribly bad luck.
The latest estimates (from two years ago, I think) I saw were that the next ice age would occur in 2000 years at most, but not so close in the future; I won't panick just yet, but it's entirely possible that this article is true.
Ah well, either way we have a better chance of being remembered than any hypothetical intelligent species that were wiped out by previous ice ages, thanks to our artificial satellites and scientific equipment on the Moon.
Hehe. The Earth is laughing to itself, saying, "YOU CAN'T LEAVE, BITCHES! PWNED!! OMFG!!!1!!!1@?@@#$!@11!!!!"
There's an excellent book out regarding this, by Art Bell and Whitley Striber, called The Coming Global Superstorm, been out for a few years and it is quite a read, dealing with the past as an example of them occuring before, and a possible future if the worst were to occur. We're talking a Cyclonic cell with it's center above the north pole and no open sky until the equator, no trees left standing north of Oklahoma, the new Frost Line of the US would be somewhere in Florida. It's impressive, but do check it out though Global Warming can cause one of two things (depending what season and if a SuperStorm does occur)- A new Ice Age, with most of Europe, North America, and A good Portion of Asia under the Tundra, OR a flood unlike anything imagined (erm, reminds me of Moses, eh?). Also in the book, a plan to possibly alter the scheme of things and counter what can happen, though I doubt anyone in power would stoop to such a level as thinking about the future of humankind. argh.
There's also a movie loosely based on the book coming out from the director of ID4, StarGate, etc, etc, called The Day After Tomorrow and it looks like they stick pretty close to theory.
Later
I'm just lurking & waiting for Almaci to blame all of this on George W. Bush. ;)
You need to shrink that sig down, James. :)
What are you talking about? :PQuote:

I just don't like people on here knowing the address and phone number of the place where I work. Next thing I know, I'll be getting mash letters from Parcher. :)
