A brilliant compendium that no self-respecting Doomer would be caught dead without!
The Universal Map of Doom
Surely you can't have failed to notice the bellicose headlines warning of various and sundry paths that lead inexorably to Apocalypse Soon? Perhaps you want to know more, but just don't have time to sort it all out? Maybe you can't decide what is worse - disappearing bees, bats and frogs; rising seas or lowered sperm counts...droughts, floods, hailstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis; exorbitant prices; or just ordinary pollution (and lots of it)?
Welcome and rejoice, doomer fans and neophytes too, you have found the most capacious and concise virtual map of converging catastrophes ever devised - a dynamically current compendium...because YOU can add to it!
Don't be mad about redundancies, or annoyed about omissions, or perplexed by non sequiturs. It's a BIG subject, and it is presented unfinished (because it will never be finished, until the grid goes down). Contribute, don't - whine. And do it soon, before the lights go out for good and this list is lost forever!
