Bull....shit, by poluting the earth to mutch we can cause the ozone layer to rip and the sun will make damnsure to melt the icecaps and make earth to hot to sustain life.
There are beings living in worse conditions today.
Melting the icecaps would do nothing to aquatic creatures. There was life before the Ozone layer was even formed. There is life near volcanic vents. There are creatures pretty much immune to radiation. There are probably even creatures that can eat plastics.

Also, fun fact: You know oxygen, that thing you need to live? It would probably be lethal to most of the above beings. Life does not conform to your standards of it.

You folks are such jokesters.

The world will be fine. There are too many people with a vested interest in keeping things running for anything really tragic to occur on a global scale. Be happy that Fallout 3 is just a fantasy and a scenario even remotely approaching that will never be seen in our lifetimes.

Actually the world is already dead.

hahaha that reminds me of hitchiker's guide to the galaxy... except with even more added absurdist humour.

the world was destroyed, but if you don't believe it, there are counselling sessions on Pluto hahaha so absurd and surreal

Ehhh but in all seriousness, George Calin has a point, the world will not die, it'll just change. People and animals will die, but the Earth isn't exactly going to up its legs and cark it. It'll be devoid of some (fairly) popular species, like humans and other animals and insects, mammals and reptiles and monotremes and plants, but it's not like it's going to turn into Mercury overnight while we're asleep.

OR WILL IT?

*narrows eyes* don't get any funny ideas, Earth, i'm watching you.

a fallout 3 scenario would be quite awesome actually. If you think about it, at least it'd bring about a bit of a change of lifestyle. Sure, it may destroy humanity as we know it, but we could use the extra elbow space..

The world is NOT dying. The world is going to be here for a long, long time. WE are dying. Don't mix those two.
We aren't going to die that soon. Global warming doesn't happen in one day, you know and who would be that stupid to start nuclear war? Everybody would die and if someone was left, fallout would kill them or turn them into freaks. (no, NO, no ghouls and mutants, there would be none of that, just freaks)

Shall I tell you why we shall never die out? Because the human race is annoying that way. No matter how much someone or something wants us dead we just piss them off by staying alive. Even if we ended up nuking ourselves we'd probably survive; that's just how we roll.

I'm a misanthrope myself, so my opinion is not based on hopes and dreams. It's based on knowledge of how annoying we as a species are, and the logic that being annoying we must be able to survive insurmountable odds and piss everyone off yet again.

And i didn't say that you did. I added that because there must be at least one user who will say something about super mutants and ghouls. Why? Because i said ''freaks'' and ''fallout'' in one post.

I have been playing fallout 3 lately and it got me thinking, how long are we going to be around....a globle event is very likely with the new tech and nukes evryone has and the fact that the world is shit allready is not helping.....it....it scares me to think that every day may be the day we vanish as a race. I.....I don't want it to end this soon.
Really, if an apocalypse level event was to happen, I would be the one pressing the big red "DOOMSDAY" button.

EDIT: Misanthropy usually gets you past that fear.
NOOOOOOOOOO YOU NINJAS ALL DESERVE TO BURN!
