Exit Mundi is a creepy cool collection of End of the World Scenarios, where you can read about how the world is going to freeze, burn, drown, and explode to death.

Here’s a snip from one that keeps Al Gore awake at night- an out of control Greenhouse Effect:

From one month to the next, the climate of the world goes wild. Temperatures jump. The ice caps of the poles crumble, pushing the sea levels up. The snow caps on the mountain tops melt, turning even the tiniest rivulet into a roaring body of water. Cities are flooded, countries washed away. Tornadoes and hurricanes push across the globe. Harvests fail. Economies crumble. Tropical diseases like malaria and dengue push northwards. Forests turn into deserts. And of course, millions of people perish during all the mayhem.

And if you thought that was bad: you haven’t seen nothing yet. Within a few decades, the situation goes totally out of hand. Temperatures just keep on rising, faster and faster. And as they do, more and more water on Earth begins to evaporate. The sea level begins to drop again. If you’re one of those poor souls who had his country or city flooded when the ice caps melted, you might be glad to find the sea retreating. But don’t put that flag out yet. What you’re witnessing, is the end of the world. Nothing more, nothing less.

Here’s how it goes. As the temperatures rise, more water evaporates. But as more water evaporates, our atmosphere gets thicker — causing the temperatures to rise even more. And as the temperatures rise even more, even more water evaporates. And as even more water evaporates… You’ve got it: there’s a chain reaction going on. The dreaded ‘runaway greenhouse effect’ has just kicked in.
