原因6温室效应瓦斯
参看:未来氺世界, 后天
每天你邻居的SUV都向大气中排放大量的二氧化碳和其他的污染气体,吸收太阳辐射导致大气层升温。这要么会a)造成南北极冰盖融化,让人类以后只能和凯文卡斯塔(Kevin
Costner )一样住在船上,b)要么洋流会停止,把纽约变成大冰块。无论怎样,都是你邻居的错。
你能做什么:减少你的二氧化碳排量。揍你的邻居

原因7外星官僚主义
参看:银河系搭车指南(The
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
外星人入侵永远不会占领地球。他们总是被微生物,老式MAC电脑,或者一杯水打败。对Vogons人,一样的外星工作人员来说,为了建成多维空间高速公路摧毁一些行星并不算什么。所以反抗他们不经过大脑官僚主义制度是不会有什么用的。哪怕被炸掉,也比听他们念诗强。
你能做什么:在半人马第一星系,对当地银河系规划署提交正式的抗议

原因8 愤怒的机器人
参看 终结者 骇客帝国三部曲 (The
Terminator &
The Matrix
没有什么能证明,人类会退化到冷酷
高效意识灵敏的机器人军队的。当然,当你只用说出名字就能拨通一个人电话的时候还是很震撼的,还有TIVO在没有询问你的情况下自动录制"Seinfeld。不久电脑就会变得很聪明并且会发动针对一切生命体的叛乱。那我们真的要将种群的未来寄托在Keanu
Reeves身上么?
你能做什么:监控你的IPHONE看它有没有什么可疑行为。

原因9 愤怒的猴子
Planet of the Apes
参看:人猿星球系列
仁慈可能会被埋怨为人猿崛起的罪魁,甚至将自由与女神像变成沙滩上道具灾难的元凶。在多毛的变种猴子成为地球主宰的时候,难道他们真需要做的哪么过分?把人类逼向灭绝的边缘,只留下少许算在笼子里做研究和嘲弄。对与一个有着99%相通基因的物种怎么可以这么狠心呢?
你能做什么:支持你自己和整个人类。如果一只动物园里的黑猩猩拿便便扔你,你也找东西扔他。

原因10 愤怒的兔子
参看:天兔星之夜 Night of
the Lepus
当人类面对灭绝的危机的时候一定是在面对,肮脏的,锋利的大牙齿。没错,人类所知道的最肮脏,残忍,坏脾气的啮齿类动物,巨型食肉兔子。因为疯狂医疗研究者们玩扮演上帝角色的游戏,制造出了这种长的和房子一般大小兔子,更糟糕的是将他们的素食的渴望变成了对鲜肉的热衷。当他们不断的迁移繁殖(很明显,就像兔子一样),他们会吃掉牛,你的宠物狗,而且很肯定的会吃掉你。他们的脚现在不会很幸运了,对吧。(Their
feet don't seem so lucky now, do they?/lucky rabbit
foot 是俚语走运)
你能做什么:什么都做不了。兔子pocalypse(bunny-pocalypse) 是不可避免的

http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mo/earth_greenhouse.jpgCAUSE: Greenhouse Gasses
As Seen In:
Waterworld &
The Day
After Tomorrow
Every
day your neighbor's SUV is spewing carbon dioxide and other
pollutants into the air, trapping the sun's radiation and heating
up the atmosphere. This may result in either a) the polar ice caps
melt, forcing mankind to live on boats with
Kevin Costner or b) the gulf
stream stops, turning New York City into an enormous icecube.
Either way, it's your neighbor's fault.
What You Can Do: Reduce your
carbon footprint. Beat up your
neighbor.Waterworld | The Day After Tomorrow
http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mo/earth_aliens.jpgCAUSE: Alien
Bureaucracy
As Seen In: The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy
Alien invaders
will never succeed in taking over the Earth. They will always be
stopped by
microbes,
Macintosh computers
or
glasses of
water.
Alien pencil pushers like the Vogons, however, will stop at nothing
to decimate the planet to clear the way for a hyperspace
expressway. So while resistance to their mindlessly bureaucratic
ways may be futile, getting blown up is still preferable to
listening to their poetry.
What You Can Do:
Lodge a formal complaint at the local intergalactic planning office
on Alpha Centuri. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy
http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mo/earth_robots.jpgCAUSE: Angry
Robots
As Seen In:
The Terminator
&
The
Matrix Trilogies
Nothing says human
obsolescence like an army of ruthlessly efficient, sentient robots.
Sure, now it's impressive when you only have to say a person's name
to get your cell phone to dial them, or when TiVo records
"Seinfeld" for you without having to ask. Soon enough, though,
computers will become so smart they will surely rebel against all
living beings. And do we really want to entrust the future of our
species to
Keanu Reeves?
What You Can Do: Watch your
iPhone to see if does anything
suspicious.Terminator
http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mo/earth_monkeys.jpgCAUSE: Angry
Monkeys
As Seen In:
Planet of the Apes
Series
Humanity may have
been to blame for the apes rising up and the disaster that turned
the Statue of Liberty into beach- front property. Still, after the
hairier varieties became the dominant primates on Earth, did they
have to be such jerks about it? They wiped out our species to the
point of extinction, keeping a few survivors locked up in cages to
be examined and taunted. How heartless do you need to be to do such
things to creatures who share 99% of your DNA?
What You Can Do: Stand up for yourself and the
whole human race. If a chimp at the zoo flings feces at you, throw
some right back.Planet of the Apes (1968) | Planet of the Apes
(2001)
http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mo/earth_bunnies.jpgCAUSE: Angry
Bunnies
As Seen In: Night of the
Lepus
When extinction
comes for humankind, it will be with nasty, big, pointy teeth.
That's right, giant carnivorous rabbits -- the most foul, cruel,
and bad-tempered rodents the Earth ever known. Grown to the size of
houses by medical researchers playing God, they replaced their
hunger for veggies with a mad craving for live flesh. As they go
forth and multiply (like rabbits, obviously), they will eat your
cows, your pet dog, and will most assuredly eat you. Their feet
don't seem so lucky now, do they?
What You Can Do: Nothing. The bunny-pocalypse is
inevitable.Night of the Lepus
