Lest we all get distracted by the nationalization of the American auto industry, it’s time for a reminder that humanities future is numbered.  Impending doom threatens us all, as this fiesty planet threatens to hiccup us pathetic mortals right off it.  This time the messenger of the end of the world is none other than ABC’s “Good Morning America”.

The world is about to end, or at least that’s according to ABC’s “Good Morning America.” The June 2 segment promoted a new special called “Earth 2100.” The program follows Lucy, a girl born in 2009, and her dramatic story about how if we don’t take drastic measures immediately climate change will cause droughts, floods, mass migration, and starvation.

This may sound straight from a science-fiction movie, but “Good Morning America” went to great lengths to assure viewers this wasn’t science fiction and that by airing this series they were changing journalism. Bob Woodruff, host of the special, called making up what will happen in the future “a different kind of journalism.” The segment quoted him saying, “not a prediction of what will happen, but what might happen.”

Just in case you don’t believe ABC’s prognostication, we are now being told that global warming is the real culprit behind the disappearance of Air France Flight 447.  So now it’s not safe to drive or fly!  Next thing you know, global warming is going to cause horses to spontaneously explode.
