Doomsday: Some Horrific Threats That Could Actually Lead To The End Of Mankind. by Explorers(m): 10:55am On Sep 21, 2015
Remember the dinosaurs? Once the dominant species on our planet, now just a blip on the enormous time scale of the Earth. The way they were wiped out is widely debated, but the fact is that they were and what makes humans any different? Threats loom over us every day, threatening our very existence. Hundreds of Hollywood blockbusters have shown us the potential threats to humankind, from the silly to the serious. We’ll be filtering out the most realistic possibilities which could spell the end for humanity. It might seem implausible right now, but even scientists have a ‘Doomsday Clock’ rapidly ticking towards midnight, and guess what happens when that clock hits 12? This clock has been ticking away since 1947 and the time is changed when experts on ‘Eschatology’ the study of the potential ending of the world or the ultimate fate of humankind believe the world is edging towards the brink, be it because of nuclear tensions between countries or climate change slowly destroying the world and our habitat. Hundreds upon hundreds of people have attempted to predict the end of the world, the first being 66 CE but we’re still here. Reasons for the impending doom of all life has ranged from the return of Christ to the Hadron Collider supposedly being able to turn the entire planet into a black hole. The Mayans had a whole calendar which supposedly predicted the end of the world, ending at precisely 11:11pm on 21 December 2012, another failed prediction to add to the list. But the following are current predictions that might actually pose real and imminent threats to the future of mankind.

1. Climate Change.

This is by far the most imminent and serious threats to humanity. Deforestation is happening at the fastest rate ever. Sea levels have risen by 8 inches since 1870. Temperature has increased by 2 degrees in the last 50 years and precipitation has increased 5%. Humans release 37 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide into the environment each year. The world is being destroyed at an increasing pace and it’s down to us.The population boom and the continuous burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which trap heat, heating the Earth up and causing countless numbers of problems for the creatures that have precisely adapted to Earth’s fragile temperatures over the last billions of years. Soon, flooding will force the100 million to move further inland, leaving their possessions and lives behind them. Those less fortunate will be murdered by illnesses caused by the air quality and the doomed remaining will be left on a wasteland of a planet.

2. Meteor Strike.

Here we are, spinning round and round in Space, but we aren’t alone. Millions of asteroids and meteors storm through space at unbelievable speeds, and one of them is bound to impact with Earth at some point, and they do. Hundreds of pieces of space junk, pebbles, debris from old satellites and so on enter the Earth’s atmosphere every day, but they harmlessly burn up on entry. Space agencies monitor bodies which could potentially be on a collision course with Earth, finding some meteors which can easily be the size of small villages. In 2013 the Chelyabinsk meteor crashed down in the south-west of Russia, leaving a massive 1500 people injured and impacting with the force of 500 kilotons of TNT, releasing a terrifying 20-30 times more energy than the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima. Meteors are an ever present threat, and just over two years ago the news that a whopping 1345 feet meteor is on crash course to Earth was delivered. The expected impact date is 26th August 2032. See "Armageddon",(Bruce Willis, 1998).

3. Nuclear War.


Just one little button can end the world. The world’s superpowers have a combined arsenal of 19,000 nuclear weapons, enough to annihilate the world a few times over. The harsh reality is that ordinary citizens can do very little about it. Just 9 nations in the world possess these doomsday weapons that can wipe out an entire city of innocent residents, rendering the area uninhabitable for the following hundreds of years.

Another source says:

* . There are at least 23,000 nuclear weapons in existence, sufficient to wipe out the entire human population of the planet many times over.


* Of the 23,000 nuclear weapons in existence, around 2,500 are on High Alert. This means they are ready to be launched at a moment’s notice.


* The missiles delivering nuclear weapons to their target travel atfaster than 1000 miles in 4 minutes.


* The only way our armed forces have of knowing if a nuclear attack is in progress is through an electronic early warning system. This system, like all electronic systems, is subject to malfunction.


* In one crisis a single man saved the world from destruction. If Stanislav Petrov, in 1983, had told his Russian superiors that his electronic monitors were signalling a massive nuclear attack from the US, there would have been a global nuclear war. He did not tell them and the signals turned out to have been due to a malfunction.


* When the electronic warning system signals that a nuclear attack is in progress the military chiefs of staff have a matter of minutes to decide if the warning is true or false.


* If the chiefs of staff instruct the Prime Minister/President that an attack is in progress he has a matter of minutes to decide if this information is reliable and to press the button launching a retaliatory strike.



* A nuclear war would cause a blanket of particles in the atmosphere that would blot out the sun’s rays and result in the death of the vegetation on which life depends. This would be in addition to the death of people, animals, and plants caused by the explosive power, the radiation and the shockwaves.


* Each of the weapons carried on the UK Trident submarine is 7 times more destructive than the Hiroshima bomb which killed 140,000. The UK Trident submarine carries 16 Trident missiles. Each missile can contain 3 No. 100 kiloton weapons. A single submarine is designed to carry over 300 times the destructive power of the Hiroshima bomb.


* The UK nuclear arsenal alone has thedestructive powertodestroyover80% of the 195 capital cities of the world.

4. Global Pandemic.

World Counter: 7 billion and increasing rapidly. By 2050 the population will peak at 10 billion and the Earth isn’t getting any bigger. Bacteria is evolving, even becoming resistant to antibiotics, creating complex problems out of what used to be an easily curable illness. Look at the timeline of humanity and you can see that this isn’t unlikely, in the past huge proportions of the human race has been wiped out by sickness or disease and what makes us think the worst days are behind us? New viruses are popping up all over the world, evolving faster than we can find new cures. Even recently an evolved Ebola virus caused the deaths of thousands of people and a never before seen influenza virus recently killed 82 people in China. The high density population of the Earth could leave us kicking the bucket not long after a deadly new virus pops up.

5. Solar Flares.


Little is known about why solar flares happen, but they’re basically explosions on the surface of the sun, sending off extreme heat and dangerous particles towards Earth. According to astronomers studying them, the Sun could send off a solar flare towards Earth with the power of 10 billion Hiroshima bombs…that’s right, 10 billion. However even smaller eruptions from the Sun could cause the end, they mess with Earth’s natural magnetic fields, inducing huge electric currents on Earth. Man’s reliance on electricity and automated systems will render us helpless in the time of the apocalypse, anything using electricity will be shutdown, and the internet. Diseases that were thought to have left behind us will resurface due to interference with sewer systems, causing widespread disease and illness on top of the mountain of problems this would already cause.

6. Biological Warfare.


Human’s desire to conquer other populations has tried everything, including using biological agentsto kill their enemies. The motivation to be the most powerful may be the cause of the destruction of the human race. In labs scientists create deadly concoctions of the most deadly viruses and genetically engineer or mix them together to make a cocktail of the most devastating plagues to hit humankind. Recently, a Dutch scientist created a new strain of the flu which killed half a million people in 1918, it leaves the human immune system completely helpless and could cause havoc if it escaped into the outside world. Viruses that can leap from victim to victim offer a near-zero chance of survival, having been engineered simply to kill as much of a population as possible. Anthrax weapons have historically been used, due to its fatality rate and an extremely contagious nature. Some of the earliest uses of germ warfare involved releasing smallpox into native tribes that had no immunity, leaving them with a 90% mortality rate and the loss of entire communities within months.

7. Super Volcanoes.


Everyone remembers the Icelandic volcano’s eruption in 2010, when air travel was suspended for days due to the ash it sent into the atmosphere. In reality volcanoes are nothing like the movies, the lava it spews out is a very small threat on the global scale, the ash it fires into the atmosphere creates a murderous cloud of soot which could easily mean the extinction of the human race. 140 million cubic metres of material were thrown into the atmosphere from this tiny volcano, and we saw how much damage that did to the world. Supervolcanoes exist around the globe, most surprisingly in Yellowstone National Park and they are capable of making an eruption 1000s of times bigger than an average volcano, such as the Icelandic event that managed to shut down half the world’s airports. The globe will be engulfed in a grip of soot and ash, blocking out sunlight, killing plants, animals and everything beyond that.

Op none of these your scientific blah blah blah will end this world.

You wanna know how this world will end? Then go and STUDY THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

The GOD Almighty, the father of my LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, created this world and only HIM (and not man or any natural disaster) has the capacity to destroy this sinful and wicked world: which of course HE will as written in the Holy Bible.

Go and engrave this somewhere.

Re: Doomsday: Some Horrific Threats That Could Actually Lead To The End Of Mankind. by scofieldsimba(m): 3:19pm On Sep 21, 2015
Op u are fully on point.

If Allah wants to destroy planet earth, it won't take a second.
Let me add to ur point.

1. Flooding alone can destroy the entirety of mankind.

2. The Sun we all enjoy today is well position by God for humanity. If the Sun were to be adjusted upwards either by commission or by omission, our planet will become too cold for human existence. If the adjustment were to be downward, the whole of mankind will melt like molten magma because the Earth will be too hot.
Same goes for the ozone layer depletion.

3. In the mid ocean where eruption of magma occurs all the time,if by coincidemce water forces its way at the point of eruption,it will lead to a very high thermal explosion with a sound as loud as over 1000 atomic bombs put together. Its devastation will be unquantifiable

In summary, for those of u who don't believe in the existence of God, u need to ask ur self if all this phenomeno are just mere coincidence or a calculated design by Almighty God for the benefit of mankind.

Even science cannot explain this.

8. Overpopulation.


The fear of an overpopulated globe has been around since the 18th century, when Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would cause mass starvation and overtax the planet. With the global population at 7 billion and counting, many conservationists thinkpopulation growthis one of the key threats to the planet. Of course, not everyone agrees: Many think population growth will stabilize in the next 50 years, and that humanity will innovate its way out of the negative consequences of the overcrowding that does occur.
