    If this is true, we won't have the needs to survive this. Everyone is only busy with putting as much money into their pockets and suddenly in 2045 realizes that we're going to die and asks why no one did anything. And than that's it.

    Michael Clarke Duncan died almost two years ago. :( 

    Thanks to that, not sure we can fend off this one even with Bruce Willis. :(

    One thing is a false news, the other is an actual long term threat to humanity backed up by numerous peer reviewed studies.

    Nah it´s ok, I´m sure the evil scientists are nefariously plotting for us to have a sustainable world.

    The story's been taken down now. Which means that either there's some sort of conspiracy, or the story was fake and we're not about going have a reunion party with the dinosaurs in 30 years. Depending on your personality and mental stability, you can believe either one.

    Although, frankly, a dark part of me kind of wishes that that story hadn't been taken down, and instead had made front-page news. It would have been interesting to see whether society broke down now, or if we waited until the last minute to lose our minds. :p

    The same reason trolls exist: a combination of people being bored and assholes.

    I honestly don't know which is worse... the fact that I didn't notice that the date didn't exist until OP directly pointed it out, or the fact that I felt mildly disappointed upon realizing that it was a hoax.

    Well if nothing else, it'd probably get us off the hook for ruining our own planet.
