Dead Presidents (1995)
This ridiculously well qualified scientist thinks; 50/50 we will all be dead in 90 years. Should he be ignored?
Martin John Rees, Baron Rees of Ludlow OM, PRS
English cosmologist, astrophysicist, Astronomer Royal since 1995, and Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, President of the British Royal Society

In 2003 he wrote:
“I thinks the odds are no better than fifty-fifty that our present civilisation on Earth will survive to the end of the present century without a serious set back.”

By 2007 he’s got even less optimistic
“he says that we have so many dangers ahead that he rates the odds of Homo sapiens surviving the 21st century as “no better than fifty-fifty.”

Do you think we should just ignore such drivel? What does he know? Could anyone do his jobs?
The Baron paints a gloomier picture than most of his colleagues but should not be ignored. Degradation of the standard of living appears to be a certainty without some kind of disaster or epidemic
that eliminates half, at least, of the world human population. Humanity has become a fungus to its planet.
