Collapse of the shiny pretty things, By Mark Morford

[TheWraith]

9. An absurd and irrational claim doesn't deserve a rebuttal.

Any more than it makes sense to debunk the premise that there's no climate change because God says so. When a position is based on belief and not any kind of fact, there's no way to falsify it. Morford is just engaging in yet another round of the "Woe is us, civilization is about to fall!" crap that we've been subjected to pretty much continuously since there WAS a civilization. The only thing that separates him from the doomsday nuts you find all over the internet is prettier words that the SF Gate apparently feels qualify for publication.
