It is better to be rich. But it all may be coming to a terrible a scientist has predicted Condition Venus, the sudden greenhouse downfall of the entire planet--but she can't say when.So now the attention of the world is focused for a week on a UN conference on the Environment in Paris, where all hell is about to break loose.
