(ORDO NEWS) — Swedish futurist Karim Jebari has proposed several possible options for the death of mankind. The reason may be the climate, a nuclear war, an epidemic, a supervolcano eruption, artificial intelligence, or even a space object.
Climate crisis
The climate on the planet is constantly changing and creates a huge number of problems. Of course, global warming will not directly lead to the death of mankind, but its consequences can be catastrophic. Jebari suggests that the temperature may rise so much that people simply cannot live on the planet.
There are no serious reasons to believe that the temperature will reach several hundred degrees, but a threat should not be ruled out. Global warming can cause problems with the economy, provoke epidemics and even wars.
Supervolcano eruption
There are 20 supervolcanoes on our planet that are filled with magma. Yellowstone is considered the most popular today. Supervolcanoes erupt about once every 100,000 years.
So much lava flows from the earth’s crust that it can destroy all life in a huge area around the volcano. At the same time, the scientist believes that the eruption is unlikely to destroy absolutely all people.
Pandemic
Different diseases are transmitted very quickly between people and therefore they can pose a serious danger. The most dangerous are those in which people can continue to live, but will infect everyone around. In addition, those diseases that are spread with the help of animals are considered very dangerous.
Nuclear war
The futurologist believes that the most likely option is war. First, a small nuclear explosion may occur, which will cause a global conflict. As a result of this, a nuclear winter may well begin. This will cause the temperature on the planet to drop by at least 10-20 degrees, which will be a disaster for agriculture.
Artificial intelligence
Today, artificial intelligence is used by people even in everyday life. At the same time, experts want to create such an artificial intelligence that could replace humanity in almost all areas. A scientist from Sweden believes that it is very unlikely that people could either create such smart AI or then lose control of it.
Space
Space is a great danger to the Earth and mankind. There is a risk that a huge asteroid will crash into the planet, although this will definitely not happen in the near future. Do not forget about the aliens, which, if they exist, can be far from being friendly towards people.
