Sir Bob Geldof has declared we ALL have less than 17 years to live.The musician-turned-activist reckons the world will end in 2030 – leading to the extinction of humankind.<\/p>\n

Sir Bob, 61, based his miserable prediction on the effects of climate change.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself,” he told a group of youngsters at a summit in Johannesburg, South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently\u201d<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

He added: “We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently.”<\/p>\n

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

He finished his speech by apologising for being “bloody miserable”, but added: “just get on with it”.<\/p>\n

Despite the dire warnings on climate change, it emerged last month that a million square miles of Arctic seas have frozen in the past year as a new environmental trend takes hold, dubbed “global cooling”.<\/p>\n

The extraordinary “reverse” of global warming has led to a 60 per cent rise in ice-covered ocean. Just six years ago, some scientists were predicting that all of this ice would have melted away by 2013.<\/p>\n

The big chill has persuaded some experts that temperatures will keep falling for decades and throws fresh doubts on claims that global warming will devastate the planet.<\/p>\n

Bob Geldof claims man-made climate change has wrecked the planet<\/p>\n

Details of the latest twist in the debate emerged in a secret memo to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.<\/p>\n

It says that a chillier-than-usual summer has left a thick ice layer stretching from the Canadian islands to the northern coast of Russia.<\/p>\n

The ice prevented dozens of yachts and a cruiser getting through America’s North-West Passage.<\/p>\n

The shock memo surfaced just days before the Arctic freeze is about to begin and six years after warnings that global warming would melt the ice by this winter.<\/p>\n

An ice-free Arctic was boldly predicted in a 2007 by Professor Wieslaw Maslowski, of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.<\/p>\n

He said his grim but conservative estimate was provided by the most realistic computer models. Cambridge University expert Professor Peter Wadhams added: “This is not a cycle, not just a fluctuation. In the end, it will all just melt away quite suddenly.”<\/p>\n

On the back of the dire warnings, billions of pounds were invested in green measures to combat agents of climate change such as greenhouse gas emissions.<\/p>\n

But the secret UN memo revealed that the ice has spread quickly following the smallest ever frozen surface area, this time last year.<\/p>\n

It also shows how governments who fund the panel are terrified at the implications of the new predictions. – dailystar.co.uk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
