Well if you are going to insinuate Nostradamus.
The Man who 'Predicted' the future for... the Northern Hemisphere, but threw all is work up in the air, when he 'saw' that he could not predict the future of the Southern Hemisphere (have you ever wondered... why?
).
Then you must consider 'his' predictions: of the coming Russo V Sino War (Russia v China).
Of how Russia calls for USA's help, but the USA balks until North Korea brings it into the fray, from its self exile from the world.
Of how the Moslems will bring forth 'Henry' of France - to die for their past sins, like a Messiah that Mohommed could never be.
Of how Nuclear Missiles will fly across the skies and reign death upon the world.
Of how billions will die from the invisible fires.
...and more.
You see. It's not hard to 'predict' the future of the Northern Hemisphere for Nostrodamus - because the North 'Fell' (like the Fall from the Garden), back into the past... to begin with. Nostradamus knew that the North must 'come back' to the present.
...as for us in the Southern Hemisphere? Well, we must turn from the future, the 'real' future (of this world of ours - not the one that Science offers out there in Space, where we see but a reflection of the light that is billions of years gone by already) and face the Past.
The world is a complicated mechanism, a brain the size of a planet, an embryo slowly growing and taking form. There is no 'God' to save us, no Alien species to save us. There is only us - and the 'world' has created us, to save it.
So ends the Age of Light.
So begins soon, the Age of Darkness.
The Age of a world, that we 'destroyed' - a world that will never recover to live again and spawn anew.
Evolution has run its course. Gaia can produce no more, after we have witnessed the 'Mother' die.
So it is in our hands - to create life anew.
Humanity is the eye of the needle, the thin waist of the hour-glass that the sands of time pass through.
95% of Humanity will die.
I hope you all remembered to turn off the iron.
