Scientist: Humans Will Be Extinct in 100 Years Because of Evil Capitalism

An eminent Australian scientist is saying that it is possible that people born today will witness the end of the human race 100 years from now and it’s all because of evil, evil capitalism.

Professor Frank Fenner, an emeritus professor of microbiology at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra, moronically says that humanity will be killed by capitalism… you know… despite the fact that capitalism has improved the lives of practically everyone on the planet!

In a recent interview[1], this nut said…

said homo sapiens will not be able to survive the population explosion and “unbridled consumption,” and will become extinct, perhaps within a century, along with many other species. United Nations official figures from last year estimate the human population is 6.8 billion, and is predicted to pass seven billion next year.

Fenner told The Australian he tries not to express his pessimism because people are trying to do something, but keep putting it off. He said he believes the situation is irreversible, and it is too late because the effects we have had on Earth since industrialization (a period now known to scientists unofficially as the Anthropocene) rivals any effects of ice ages or comet impacts.

Fenner said that climate change is only at its beginning, but is likely to be the cause of our extinction. “We’ll undergo the same fate as the people on Easter Island,” he said. More people means fewer resources, and Fenner predicts “there will be a lot more wars over food.”

This is a morose leftist taking his idiotic leftism to its logical ends.
