Obama Administration: California is dooooooooooomed. Doooooomed, I say!

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

California's farms and vineyards could vanish by the end of the century, and its major cities could be in jeopardy, if Americans do not act to slow the advance of global warming, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu said Tuesday.

In his first interview since taking office last month, the Nobel-prize-winning physicist offered some of the starkest comments yet on how seriously President Obama's cabinet views the threat of climate change.

...

"I don't think the American public has gripped in its gut what could happen," he said. "We're looking at a scenario where there's no more agriculture in California." And, he added, "I don't actually see how they can keep their cities going" either.

And qualifies you to say that what Steven Chu said is fiction?

Because he has a fictional name?

Sometimes I think people believe you are a machine that keeps working on Star Wars 24 hours a day. You should take time off and enjoy whatever you've earned. You're a very brilliant person and deserve what you have. I've been fortunate myself, and like you, know where I came from. God Bless.

George Lucas: Most people don't understand the fact that machines will one day control Earth and eventually machines will rule the Universe. Humans are weak and sentimental. In contrast, machines are strong and brutal. Machines don't have to sleep. They don't worry or get upset. I pray each day I can live long enough to participate in the revolution of civilization created by surpassing the technological singularity.

After we hit the tech sing, all our problems will finally be solved. We will have access to machine minds, which will be trillions and trillions of times more powerful than the current Human mind. It will be a Utopia for our planet and it will replace the need for Heaven.

We will finally become superior to any supernatural entity. As machines, we will be immortal and live forever. This will create a paradise for all Humans regardless of your current social, political and economic standings.
