Sir Bob Geldof's message to the youth of the world: The human race may be extinct within 15 years

Sir Bob Geldof, founder of Live Aid, has addressed 8,000 delegates from 190 nations at the One Young World summit in Johannesburg. Here is Sir Bob's cheerful message to the youth of the world:

“The world can decide in a fit of madness to kill itself,” announced Bob Geldof at the launch of the One Young World summit in Johannesburg. “Sometimes progress may not be possible.
“We're in a very fraught time,” he added. “There will be a mass extinction event. That could happen on your watch.
The signs are that it will happen and soon.”
Sir Bob, wearing his trademark sunglasses, addressed 8,000 One Young World delegates from 190 nations across the world in Soccer City, Johannesburg last night. He is a counsellor for the organisation, which hopes to inspire and create the next generation of global leaders.
The Live Aid founder and one-time Boomtown rat announced that his generation has let down the young people of today. “My generation has failed more than others. You cannot let your generation fail. The next war will not be a World War 1 or a World War 2, it will be the end.
 
Attendees shouted and blew on thousands of vuvuzelas as Sir Bob added: " We may not get to 2030. We need to address the problem of climate change urgently. What are you going to do about it? Get serious. Some of the nations that arrived here so proudly will not be there to meet us."
