I swear to fucking God we're on the road to apocalypse.
(March 11) -- AccuWeather.com, which just issued its early hurricane season forecast, not only believes that the 2010 season will be more active than last year, but the private company sees the potential for an "extreme season" with an above-normal threat all along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The forecast was led by chief long-range meteorologist and hurricane forecaster Joe Bastardi, who believes that this year will be more like the 2008 hurricane season than the much quieter 2009 season. In 2008, there were 16 named storms, eight of which were hurricanes, including the major hurricane Ike that ravaged the upper Texas coast. In 2009, only two storms (one of which was a hurricane) made landfall, both along the Gulf Coast, making it the least active Atlantic hurricane season since 1997.
The forecast mirrors other early-season prognostications in terms of more tropical activity than last year. It projects 16 to 18 storms (hurricanes and tropical storms), 15 of which are expected to occur in the western Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico, potentially posing a threat to U.S. coastlines. Seven hurricanes are forecast by AccuWeather, five of them major (Category 3 or stronger). Two or three major hurricanes are projected to make landfall, with seven total storms making landfall.

all I got out of that entire article is:
Bastardi is a funny name
That won't be the apocalypse though.
That won't be the apocalypse though.
depending on if we have an alternative by then it very well could start WW3

Don't be ridiculous, we do have several alternatives, and the only reason why we haven't used them yet is due to either high costs or lack of necessity. Some people still believe fossil fuels do not contribute to global warming, and many don't believe it exists at all. If/When we run out of oil, we will switch to alternative fuel sources.
everyone will go absolutely nuts because they think the world is going to end, then it WILL because everyone is going crazy and then governments will collapse and birds will migrate in the wrong direction and....
