While I am not saying this is some universal truth or anything like that, but I have found these kind of articles to be wildly popular amongst cynical students at my college. There is something about the idea of "The world is fucked, and I will be here to watch it burn!" that seems to really click with these people.

Well, it seems to be in human nature to try to extinguish itself. Acid rain, ozone hole, global warming, wars, especially the nuclear arms race, ... seems only a question of time until we succeed by accident.
