Really? The only "end of the world" thing I've heard lately is the whole global warming thing... I agree with you that I get a little suspicious when hearing that runaway CO2 emissions (or whatever) could end civilization as we know it, but, hell, it might well be true, I'm hardly qualified to judge. I honestly can't think of any other apocalyptic arguments I've heard recently... all that energy that went into Y2K millenarianism now seems to be focused on global warming, as far as I can tell...
