Sir Bob Geldof: 'All humans will die before 2030'The musician-turned-activist reckons the world will end in 2030 - leading to the extinction of humankind.
Sir Bob, 61, based his miserable prediction on the effects of climate change.
Despite the dire warnings on climate change, it emerged last month that a million square miles of Arctic seas have frozen in the past year as a new environmental trend takes hold, dubbed "global cooling".
The extraordinary "reverse" of global warming has led to a 60 per cent rise in ice-covered ocean. Just six years ago, some scientists were predicting that all of this ice would have melted away by 2013.
The big chill has persuaded some experts that temperatures will keep falling for decades and throws fresh doubts on claims that global warming will devastate the planet.
Details of the latest twist in the debate emerged in a secret memo to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
It says that a chillier-thanusual summer has left a thick ice layer stretching from the Canadian islands to the northern coast of Russia.
The ice prevented dozens of yachts and a cruiser getting through America's North-West Passage.
The shock memo surfaced just days before the Arctic freeze is about to begin and six years after warnings that global warming would melt the ice by this winter.
An ice-free Arctic was boldly predicted in a 2007 by Professor Wieslaw Maslowski, of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
He said his grim but conservative estimate was provided by the most realistic computer models. Cambridge University expert Professor Peter Wadhams added: "This is not a cycle, not just a fluctuation. In the end, it will all just melt away quite suddenly."
On the back of the dire warnings, billions of pounds were invested in green measures to combat agents of climate change such as greenhouse gas emissions.
But the secret UN memo revealed that the ice has spread quickly following the smallest ever frozen surface area, this time last year.
It also shows how governments who fund the panel are terrified at the implications of the new predictions.
Yet the Looney Toons Left keeps on the doom and gloom bandwagon. How do you spell stupid D-E-M-O-C-R-A-T, O-B-A-M-A, L-I-B-E-R-A-L
