    Yeah, the tv-series was almost as bad as the follow-up to "Romancing the stone". I used to watch the tv-series as a kid, out of boredom. It was ok since the mini series had been aired previously. I suppose that is how they make people watch lousy follow-ups - the familiarity factor.

    He told the BBC climate change could turn the planet into a hothouse, and Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Climate agreement to reduce CO2 levels could accelerate the threat.

    “We are close to the tipping point, where global warming becomes irreversible,” he said.

    “Trump’s action could push the earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of 250C, and raining sulfuric acid.”

    Hawking also said humans may have to consider life on a planet elsewhere because of the destruction of earth due to climate change.

    Live Science reports experts don’t believe earth could hit those extreme temperatures because it is further away from the sun than Venus and doesn’t have a carbon dioxide atmosphere as thick.

    Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Man said: “Hawking is taking some rhetorical license here”.

    “Earth is further away form the sun than Venus and likely cannot experience a runaway greenhouse effect in the same sense as Venus — ie a literal boiling away of the oceans. However Hawking’s larger point — that we could render the planet largely inhabitable for human civilisation if we do not act to avert dangerous climate change — is certainly valid.”

    He's not that far off on these couple of points. The earth and everything on it will melt with a fervent heat. We will have to live on another planet- "And behold, I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first had passed away"-John the revelator.

    It could be him without his papal outfit. Maybe he discovered the fountain of youth somewhere on the Vatican grounds just after that episode was made.

    Twilight Zone is similar to listening to left wing liberals with their wacky ideology

    You got me curious...here's a quote from an interview he did four months before he died at age 50:


    Brevelle: If you're reincarnated, what will your next life be?

    Serling: I don't believe in reincarnation. That's a cop-out, I know. I don't really want to be reincarnated. I think one time around...I think Willa Cather did a short story called "Paul's Case," and in it, when he finally commits suicide, it says, "He surrendered to the black design of things." And that's what I anticipate death will be: a totally unconscious void in which you float through eternity with no particular consciousness of anything. I think once around is enough. I don't want to start it all over again...

    http://www.rodserling.com/brevelleint.htm


    ...and here is his official religious affiliation:

    -According to the biography In The Zone: The Twilight World of Rod Serling (1997), Serling was raised Jewish, but later joined a Unitarian Universalist church. He married Carolyn Kramer, also a Unitarian Universalist, in 1948, and had two children, Jody and Nan. D. 1975

    “Theologically speaking, Rod was what we call a naturalistic humanist, and that was the underlying philosophy of my pulpit. Racial issues, class, power—you find all of these in his writings, and he found reinforcements for his viewpoints in his congregation.”
    —Rev. Ernest Pipes of the Unitarian Universalist Community...
