In the early 1970s, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology created a computer program to predict what will happen to planet Earth (and the humans who live on it).
The computer model, called World1, used data including pollution levels, population growth, the availability of natural resources and the overall quality of life. Here's what it found:
"At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilized life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist."
The bad news: according to the computer model, we're right on track to make that prediction come true.

last I remember , I think Stephen Hawking (at last word) said we had at least 1000 yrs if that …… of course who knows what the future holds for us
More importantly, what kind of lazy editor would allow such an obvious blunder to appear on their website?
One gets caught, all the others get the loot. And the one caught is freed because he's a minor...
This is nothing new, except that the kids in my town grew up, while those in D.C. probably never will.
1. Provide your store with a panic button that silent alarms the police, locks the doors so that it prevents exiting the store and 3 duck into a bolted back room. Shell gas stations have these for their gas stations.
2. This is of course for sole owners....shotgun under counter and start blasting...not stop theif...not hold it....just start firing...guaranteed whether they live or die they wont be back.
