The Last Frost

This article has shown us the need for an 'obvious' category.

Stephen Hawking has said that humans must leave Earth if we are to have any hope of survival. The interesting thing is what he mentions in his list of what might do us in if we stay. Top of the list, according to Sploid, is sudden global warming. 

Whenever people discuss global warming effects they either speak of the relatively minor effects we see now, or the still relatively minor effects we will see in the 'next century'. Anyone who's studied climate science for more than 15 minutes should know that when it comes to our planet's future climate, we don't know jack. Go see the Day After Tomorrow and realize that although that movie is based on Hollywood silliness, that magnitude of change is more than possible, maybe not overnight but certainly less than a century from now. The potential for destruction simply makes the issue of global warming too risky to ignore.

We. Must. Leave. Earth. » [Sploid]
