GLOBAL WARMING: DIVINE WARNING OF DOOMSDAY

GLOBAL WARMING: DIVINE WARNING OF DOOMSDAY The media covered this sensational report at length and was published in detail by the Times of India on February 3, 2007, titled ‘Warning Signs’. I think it would have been more appropriate to call it ‘Warning Signs of Doomsday.’ In the context of recent deliberations by scientists from all over the world on this subject, the Times of India published a report on May 18, 2007, titled ‘By 2050 the Earth Will be Arid and Empty.’ According to this report, a well-known scientist, James Lovelock, observed in the light of scientific information that by 2050, a significant part of the land surface would have become dry. It would pose a severe threat to the lives of all living beings. We have reached the beginning of the end, from which point people will start dying one by one, eventually putting an end to all life on earth. “We are on the edge of the greatest die-off humanity has ever seen. We will be lucky if 20 of us survive what is coming.” (p. 22) A letter on this subject, written by Sir Isaac Newton, the famous British scientist, in 1704, was displayed in a museum in Jerusalem. He wrote that the present world would come to an end in 2060. It was reported on the front page of the Times of India, June 18, 2007, under the heading, ‘Newton Saw End of the World in 2060.’
