It's us right? It's the hole on the ozone-layer that does it. It's our burning up fossil fuels and squandering our world- Thát's why the universe will live shorter...!

Has the Green Movement gotten new ammo........!

Well Wit, I think part of it is because people can barely grasp the idea that they themselves will die and cease to exist. I think the lone comforting fact (other than the crutch of religion) in accepting our own mortality is that "the world will go on."
Thinking about the entire universe not continuing on is a very unsettling thought!

But you know, I think this a case where the information is nice to have for science and posterity, but not worth thinking about in your average daily life. It's a matter of relevance and perspective. I mean if I even thought about everything going on in the Middle East at this very minute, I don't think I'd be a functional person. Let alone the universe coming to an end!!!
Acknowledge the information and move along, because you can't skip out on rent and tell your landlord "well, the physicists just figured out the universe might end soon." (though it is sorely tempting to try)

The end is coming soon (er).

It just goes to show that the more you know the more you know you don't know. The rest of the story, that is.

When we know all of the story we will be very, very old. I'd say that now we are adolescents with room to grow. The act of growing being voluntary, of course.

*grin*
