TEXT:

Well, I am not talking abou the end of the world but just our small corner of the world, the human species. The Earth will go on without us. Thousands of species will go on with us, both in the ground and in the skies (and in the waters).

My time frame is the next 500 to 1000 years. 30 to 60  more generations of man (and woman, of course). And then we won't be here any more. That is where we are heading. Anyone, everyone, knows this.

Sorry, mate, it aint gonna be like that.
