Hit the booze & blow hard enough and that will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I've talked to a few old timers about these doomsday scenarios, and they said the paranoid fringe have been predicting the end of the world for as long as they can remember, which in the case of some of these old boys went back to the 1800s. So far the doomsdayer's track record for accuracy is pretty bad ... or pretty good I guess considering a correct prediction would provide a rather negative outcome. But hey, I'll be pounding back the pints in July before they flip the switch on the black hole generator. Being a beer slut, any excuse will do.
