Bob Geldof: 'All humans will die before 2030'
2013-10-07
[DAILYSTAR.CO.UK] The musician-turned-activist reckons the world will end in 2030 - leading to the extinction of humankind.

Sir Bob, 61, based his miserable prediction on the effects of climate change.

"The world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself," he told a group of youngsters at a summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The former Boomtown Rats singer also warned "the next war will not be a World War One or a World War Two, it will be the end."

He added: "We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently."

Sir Bob is best-known for his attempts in helping to fight famine in Africa, staging Live Aid at Wembley Stadium in 1985.

He finished his speech by apologising for being "bloody miserable", but added: "just get on with it".

#11  Umm, didn't he read the latest IPCC report that said all the enviro-catastrophe crap has been moved to the extremely improbable category?

He and AlGore make a lovely couple.

#10  You would think Geldoff would have learned after LiveAid got all that money for food and the dictators confiscated it. Good concert though.

#9  We can start with the elimination of this clown. If people like this were serious, they would off themselves first as a show of dedication.

#7  What sacrifices are you making, Geldof? Or are you expecting the rest of us to shoulder all the burden? Because if we can doom the environment, than I can think of no surer way to do so than to use saving it as an excuse to lord it over everyone else.
