From best-selling author and illustrator Ron Barrett, who forecasted the weather in the classic picture book, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, now predicts how -thanks to climate change and other unpleasantries - the world will end!

Find out the:
Top 10 species we'll lose to climate change
Top 10 avalanches mostly caused by global warming
Top 10 climate change deniers
Top 10 times we almost had a nuclear war
Top 10 things that will happen when the Yellowstone Supervolcano erupts
Top 10 ways to try to stop an asteroid
and many more!
