IMO, humanity is in peril. If life as we know it is eliminated or nearly eliminated, which of the following do you think would be the cause?
Climate change
Nuclear war
Disease
Civil breakdown and uprising
Religious strife
Other
Six of one half a dozen of another if it's the apocalypse really who gives a s***
i think climate change will be the ultimate cause because it will cause rise in disease, [which can already be see], it will cause civil breakdown/uprising because of shortage of natural resources [not just oil, but food and clean water] and then people will begin wars over food/water
Uhhh, I shouldn't have used the word "apocalypse". This definition is copied from Dictionary.com. "any universal or widespread destruction or disaster:" That's what I was referring to. It also defines the religious definition which wasn't my intention.
Imo none of the above, and literal Armageddon is as old as Ragnarok. We've been through prolly a couple near-extinctions already, and the world keeps turning I guess
Yes, the world will keep turning but maybe without us or at least without most of us unless we wise up IMO.
They is no such word as "prolly". Using that expression is only cute when a child does it.
Humankind have already survived four of the five events on your list, some of them multiple times.
My money is on either total global financial collapse, or more likely, something that takes out the electrical grid, such as an EMP of natural or human origin, or a cyber attack. Most people are blissfully unaware of how fragile our electrical grid actually is, or just how much we rely on technology to live in the digital age.
The future holds smaller grids (micro and mini) for resilience and renewables with storage for generation.
