Human race to be extinct in 200 years
Yikes, did you know the “Brain of Britain” Stephen Hawking has said that he predicts the human race will come to an end in 200 years. Mr. Hawking also said that our only chance of survival is to get beyond earth and inhabit other planets in the vastness of space.
Mr. Hawking said that our only chance of survival is to move away from Earth and the sooner we do it, the better. The Daily Mail which interviewed Mr. Hawlking said that he was optimistic about we humans making it on another planet or multiple planets. Mr. Hawking also said that this is not the first time humanity has had faced the question of survival and quoted “the cuban missle crisis in 1963 was one of them”.
He predicts that things will only be worse in the future and the only way our species can live is to spread out in the vastness of space. Mr. Hawking is known for his acute insight of the future and his contribution to science has been extraordinary.
He was in news earlier this year when he warned against making contact with aliens as they could turn hostile. Mr. Hawking said that the last 100 years have seen remarkable progress and this should continue towards a future in space.
When asked about if humans would pollute the space with such inter-stellar travel he said, “We are just a blip on the radar and technology by then will be more about efficiency than pollution”.

Celtic Christianity Today Homily “Repent or the Time is Near” Part 1 by Rev. Dr. George Cairns
Mark 16:15 John 1-5 Ephesians 1: 3-4 & 1: 9-10
(Valparaiso, Indiana) - Rev. Dr. George Cairns of Chesterton, Indiana delivers a Sunday homily about “the major evils of today – genocide and ecocide” entitled “Repent or the Time is Near” on May 31, 2009 at the Union Community Church in Valparaiso, Indiana.
In this two part homily video series, Rev. Cairns discusses the “Cosmic Christ” and a related story in “The Lutheran” magazine by Elaine Siemsen, the United Nations definition of genocide, the loss of language and other heritages in Indigenous peoples like the American Indian, Ecocide, the acclaimed ABC News Special “Earth 2100” and how many experts believes the Earth and its inhabitants are facing the “the Sixth Great Extinction” of the world.
Cairns talks about the results of the American Museum of Natural History national survey on Ecocide that “reveals a biodiversity crisis” and is entitled “Scientific Experts Believe we are in the Midst of Fastest Mass Extinction in Earth's History: Crisis Poses Major Threat to Human Survival; Public Unaware of Danger”
With the statute of limitations up, Rev. Cairns confesses his childhood antics to prevent a highway construction project from ruining the woods in which he played - now an interstate freeway has “vaporized” those woods that meant so much to him while growing up.
The other homilies on Celtic Christianity take a look at several topics including the European roots of the Celts (primarily Scotland and Ireland) and how Earth-based cultures can impact the future of civilization including actively protecting the environment, respecting fellow humans, different cultures and nature.
Cairns works closely with Rev. Gregory Jones on several social fronts.
Rev. Jones is the pastor of the Union Community Church and an Adjunct Assistant Professor of Theology at Valparaiso University.
Founded in 2007, The non-profit Turtle Island Project is known for its ongoing work with Native American issues and the other wing involves other Earth-based religions like the Celts. Dr. Cairns is the co-founder of the nonprofit Turtle Island Project.
Rev. Cairns continues to work closely with the foremost Celtic group in the world, the Iona Community in Scotland.

If Climate Didn't Doom Neanderthals, Did Humans?
Neanderthals could handle the weather, but they couldn't handle us, concludes a new analysis of late-Pleistocene hominid habitation.
Soon after modern humans arrived in Western Europe, plenty of temperate, food-rich habitat existed for our evolutionary near-brothers — but their settlements dwindled, and modern human settlements spread.
These patterns suggest that one of modern anthropological history's great mysteries had a harsh ending: a competition in which Neanderthals, for reasons still unknown, were doomed.Neanderthals could handle the weather, but they couldn't handle us, concludes a... more-

Nuke exchange would shred ozone layer: study
A regional nuclear exchange could wipe out most of the Earth’s protective ozone layer, researchers report. The layer is a part of the atmosphere that contains enough ozone to block most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation, which burns the skin and can cause skin cancer.
Michael Mills of the University of Colorado, Boulder, and colleagues concluded from simulations that a conflict involving the exchange of 100 Hiroshima-equivalent bombs would cause urban fires whose smoke would decimate the ozone layer.
The fires would loft as much as five million metric tonnes of soot into the troposphere, the lowest atmospheric layer, the researchers argued. Solar heating, they added, would then boost the soot into the stratosphere, a higher layer.
Up to about 60 km (40 miles) high the soot would absorb solar radiation and heat the surrounding gases, thus speeding up chemical reactions that break down ozone, the scientists said.
They used a model that linked climate to atmospheric chemistry to conduct 10-year simulations. Their model predicts that in a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan, atmospheric currents would likely spread soot around the globe, resulting in local atmospheric warming of up to 30-60 degrees Celsius.
Some ozone-destroying reactions would accelerate at the higher temperatures, the researchers continued. In both hemispheres, they addded, the ozone from 20 degrees north or south latitude to the poles would thin below the threshold defining a currently existing Antarctic ozone hole. The model predicts that the atmosphere would begin to recover in five to eight years.
The study is to appear in this week’s early online edition of the research journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

However, humans won' t get the message. We will continue to warmonger and push for nuclear energy by telling people it is "safe."
