There are only two I can think of that could work on such a complete scale.

Greenhouse summer or nuclear winter (today the clock ticked to 5 minutes to midnight!)
Qatar will be one of the first to go if the former!
But if you are working on a thesis paper I reckon you just might be able to find a slightly more reliable source than Qatar Living (if you try really hard?)
But I'd like to hear of any others all the same!
