Apocophilia

An attraction to, or taking pleasure in, end-of-society scenarios, such as global nuclear war, or worst-case peak-oil or global-warming.

Often leads to what others would regard as a 'pessimistic' world view, however Apocophiliacs often identify with an 'up-side' to the total destruction of mostly everything. Proof of irrationality can often be found in a belief that they will survive the impending apocolyse themselves.
I used to hang at peakoil.com, but the place is swamped with apocophilic doomers.

I'm really worried about global warming, but sometimes I worry that I might just have a tendency for apocophilia.

doomer

Someone who expects the worst possible outcome from a global occurrence, especially the peak in global oil production.

Antonyms are cornucopian, humanist, realist.

Doomers hold a faith based belief that humanity is incapable of resolving human-society created global issues, e.g. by replacing oil with other energy sources.

Refer apocophilia
peakoil.com is packed full of doomers practicing group-think like it was a survival skill.

I used to be a doomer, but then I remembered how to add.

You're such an apocophile. I figure either we'll both be dead, or I'll be laughing. Win or draw to me then.

Metric Inch

A distance of 33 millimetres.
Why do you think using British Imperial measurements makes you free? If you give them a metric inch, they'll take a kilometre.

Doomerosity

A scale used in the peak oil peaknik community to relate the level of global impact an individual expects from the peak in global oil production.

Ranges from 0 (peak oil is just a big hoax) to 6 (welcome to the stone age). 3 is a global catastrophe from which modern society will eventually recover.
My doomerosity is currently at 2, maybe 3. I used to be more of a doomer but that was just my apocophile tendencies getting the better of me.
