The world has already ended. It ended before the millenium bug on the 9/9/99 at exactly 9 minutes passed 9 o'clock. Fortunately, this new world we are living in is exactly the same as the one that ended.
Sounds like it is time for you to go for another one of your walks to meet some more great Australian characters Joe. It's good to be informed about issues but feeling hopeless by thinking about the enormity of all potential future events is pointless. The world will become a much brighter place if you turn off the non stop fear generated on tabloid television news and reduce your AM radio listening to one hour a day.
One should never listen to am radio, it rots the brain. As does TV and fm radio.
