Now the idea the world is going to end sometime is deep-rooted in Western religion. Disaster is always just waiting to strike. Some stuff I read on climate change reminds me of the doomsayers view. I'd just like to mention again that what we believe about the past influences our view on the present. Perhaps it would be interesting to consider the advantages and disadvantages climate change has had for our species' evolution and our role in those climate changes.
