well, that's kinda why I think it's more blah blah blah than anything. I don't really see a "mortality of the entire human race". I think we are a vibrant, intelligent, and adaptable species, that will under anything other than a supernatural event, will find ways to survive. So, I won't be scared because some tv show pretends to have an idea of what could happen 10,000 years in the future, or for that matter a politico's inconvenient truth.
