Apocalyptic articles like these only continue to be published because people read them; they rarely reflect anything real except a linear projection of current trends.

Take, for example, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/poll/2008... http://www.noozhawk.com/mark_shields/article/1109_mark_shiel...

These predictions have clearly proven false; they are mere protractions of two recent events glued together.
