Prophesizing

I just had breakfast with three gentlemen - one from India, one from Bangladesh and one from Sri Lanka. Conversation ranged from business (Tata buying Land Rover and Jaguar from Ford Motor Company) to last night's activities (work for me, shots of some sort of coconut liquor for them) to a healthy lifestyle (apparently I exercise much more than any sensible panda should!).

But what was most interesting to me was how they each tied global warming concerns with the end of the world, as prophesied by Muhammed or Nostradamus. All these signs are in line with ancient prophecies and we should not see our planet existing beyond 2050.
