INTRODUCTION
There’s a kind of doomsday feel to things right now - have you noticed? It’s not just that the Mayan calendar runs out on December 21st of next year. It’s not even the plethora of new warnings from astrophysicists, doctors and geologists about the possibly catastrophic events that are now known to be on the not-too-distant horizon. It has more to do with the zeitgeist, an undifferentiated sense that things can’t go on like they are forever.
And, of course, there are clues. Almost daily, items half-buried in news reports point to the Doom scenarios just lurking around the corner. Maybe you are too busy or too trapped in denial to notice them all, so this blog is here to help you keep track.
Something To Worry About Today
It seems that Harold Camping, the 90-year-old prophet of California radio, has apologised for miscalculating the date of the Apocalypse. That seems OK, but he insists that a "spiritual rapture" did take place back in May.
Maybe you didn't notice it. So if you're still walking around, the bad news is that you've already missed the plane.
Never mind-- today sees the launch of our book, The Coffee Table Book of Doom, which sorts out the end times in a way that might not be able to rescue you but will make the end of the world more entertaining. You can click on the picture to your right to get a copy for yourself.
