20 years from now.

I love you, Escapist. Most other places where something like this gets posted would have at least some people taking it seriously and believing it. But you guys go straight in with parody and debunking.

Spoiler: Cookies for all of you beautiful people!

20 years from now, those cookies will be incredibly stale.

20 years from now, enviromentalists' attempts to prevent global warming will plunge the planet into a new Ice Age.

In 20 years time, i'll be commuting to work, and not lying in bed as a student reading the Escapist forum.

20 years? I'm more worried about 65 years from now. Though in 177 years my home state of California will be it's own nation, so I guess that's a plus?

it will come to this.

Sorry Escapist, I tried to find one with video but I couldn't.
This thread actually prompted a discussion with me and a friend, about why 20 years is always the number used for alarmist "facts" like this. We figure it's far enough away to be "possible", or at least hard to disprove, but close enough that it's only really a generation. You'll probably still be here, plus some kids or grandkids. It's just weird how it's kinda the default for this stuff now.
