			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve never heard of this <em>Helium</em> (the publication, not the noble gas) but the headline is quite striking: &#8220;<a href="http://www.helium.com/items/1882339-doomsday-how-bp-gulf-disaster-may-have-triggered-a-world-killing-event">How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a &#8216;world-killing&#8217; event</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>Key quote:</p>
<blockquote><p>The bottom line: BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling operation may have triggered an irreversible, cascading geological Apocalypse that will culminate with the first mass extinction of life on Earth in many millions of years. </p></blockquote>
<p>They compare it to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian–Triassic_extinction_event">Permian–Triassic extinction event</a>.  You know, the one scientists affectionately nicknamed &#8220;the Great Dying&#8221;.</p>
<p>In that case?  I&#8217;m going back to bed.  And when I wake up?  Real bacon instead of this turkey bacon malarkey.</p>
