Sir Bob Geldof has a message for the youth of the world: We’re all going to die!

Some of us may be closer than others

Sir Bob, musician-turned-activist, is best known, ironically, for his Live Aid concerts to eliminate African famine. Unlike most people, who embrace nihilism in their youth, he seems to have adopted it in a senior moment. In any event, he was back in South Africa last week to announce to a group of school children that the end of the world is nigh. Apparently all of his efforts and best intentions for saving the world were, well, pointless. That must have turned him into a very sad little man.

Yes, it did.

I believe that Sir Bob stated that at precisely 12:17 P.M. (EDT) on September 27, 2030 humankind will come to an end – because of our climate change “problem” – a term that he and everyone else in the doomsday brigade have embraced now that the world hasn’t shown any warming for the past 15 years. Or, come to think of it, for the last 115 years.

Anyway, I have it from reliable sources that this truth (about the end of the world) was revealed to Sir Bob by computer models provided with compliments of the IPPC (UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and the Michael Mann School of Post-normal Scientology and Hockey Tricks.

That’s a mighty big hockey puck Michael, you’ll need a really big stick to play with it.

In any event, Sir Bob upset the children by presenting them with these facts that he extracted from his infallible climate model data:

“We're in a very fraught time.There will be a mass extinction event. That could happen on your watch.”

“The signs are that it will happen and soon.”

"We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently."

The former Boomtown Rats singer also predicted that “the next war will not be a World War One or a World War Two, it will be the end.” Duh; normally you wouldn’t have to mention that, butt kids don’t learn much about history anymore.

Anyway, this explains a lot about what’s been going on in Washington. For example, everyone has been wondering why Big Guy’s Big Brains made him keep global warming at the top of his agenda, and continue to hammer the coal industry;

Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants. (especially coal)

All of the above; except dirty coal

…despite having all those phony scandals to refute, the looming debt ceiling crisis that’s going to cause another Great Depression (so we will not negotiate on it), and the fiasco of the Obamacare rollout combined with the drastic increase in the plan’s costs (so we will not negotiate on that either).

Now you see how the priorities have been set: if the whole world is going to end in 17 years unless we ACT NOW, well, what DAT-P-DIM (difference at this point does it make; h/t Abenaki)?

Which is precisely why, as Barry put it “I don’t have much patience for people who deny climate change.” Certainly not when it’s getting so hot around here.

So allow me to make this whole climate ~~charade~~ change situation perfectly clear:

“It should be generally understood at this point that the entire point of the long-running “global warming” gag is for tiny centralized bodies of officials to gain control over industrialized economies and engage in global wealth redistribution.”

I’m certain that Sir Bob is not a member of the Bilderberg group, so he may not be privy to the endgame; butt with his high profile and reputation for saving the world, he sure is an impressively useful tool.

And maybe that's why we shouldn’t turn to “musicians-turned-activists” for insight on matters related to science, or any other issue that requires a modicum of either math or brains.

Question of the Day: Whose Big Scientific Brain is most like Sir Bob’s – Einstein’s or the Einstein caterpillar’s?

Sir Bob: entertainment impresario and one-hit wonder of little brain and big mouth

Remember, Sir Bob Geldof was really good at only one thing: organizing great concerts. And while that’s one more thing than Algore was ever really good at, it still doesn’t qualify him to be a scientist, prophet or prognosticator of worldwide weather patterns. It does, however qualify him to be a Global Warmist.

So I leave you with this this thought from one of Sir Bob’s major accomplishment in life, organizing the Live Aid 1985 concert:

We are the World:

The only verse I really like from the song is this one:

When you're down and out, there seems no hope at all
But if you just believe there's no way we can fall well well well well
Let us realize that a change can only come
When we stand together as one.

Unfortunately, I don’t think it means what Big Guy thinks it means.
