Stephen Hawking fears Trump could 'push Earth over the brink' and start chain reaction which wipes out humanity
British professor fears global warming will cause temperatures to skyrocket beyond boiling point and sulphuric acid to rain from the sky
STEPHEN Hawking fears Donald Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement could be the “tipping point” which wipes out humanity and turns our planet into a living hell.
The British professor is worried that The Donald’s rejection of this plan to combat global warming could cause irreversible changes which doom our planet to a grim fate.
In recent years, Hawking has become something of a doommonger, who is determined to sketch out a variety of grim fates which await the human race.
In his latest prophecy, the professor suggested our planet could be destined to become totally uninhabitable.
“We are close to the tipping point where global warming becomes irreversible. Trump’s action could push the Earth over the brink, to become like Venus, with a temperature of 250°C, and raining sulphuric acid,” he told the BBC.
“Climate change is one of the great dangers we face, and it’s one we can prevent if we act now.
“By denying the evidence for climate change, and pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement, Donald Trump will cause avoidable environmental damage to our beautiful planet, endangering the natural world, for us and our children.”
The famed physicist also fears that “evolution has inbuilt greed and aggression to the human genome”, meaning that we might wipe ourselves out before Earth turns into Venus.

Professor Hawking fears technology will wipe out humanity and has called for global government to defeat killer robots.
He has also said humanity should probably leave Earth within 1,000 years, although even this great escape might not save us because an alien civilisation could come along and wipe us out.
