What are you most afraid of wiping out humanity?

Question

Nothing in the foreseeable future will wipe out humanity. In the very near term and the most likely, the COVID vaccine may kill and/or sterilize a couple of billion which is what was the intent. The wanted more, but too many people have become aware of the dangers. Also, in the very near term but far less likely, a nuclear way may kill 2 to 4 billion people.

In the longer term and probably in the next 1 to 5 thousand years, the intergalactic warm period will end and we will return to the several millions year long Ice Age that we are in. When that happens, 2 to 4 billion people will die of starvation since there will be far less area for farming.

In the much longer term, perhaps 10,000 to 30,000 years, Yellowstone Super Volcano will erupt wiping out most people in the western half of the continental USA. And, the many cubic miles of volcano ash in the upper atmosphere will block out most of the sunlight for 2 or 3 years. Without adequate sunlight, most vegetation will not grow and several billion more people will die of starvation.

Of course, in 3 billion years, the sun will turn into a Red Giant and Mercury, Venus, and Earth will become part of the sun. However, no species exist that long. Long before that humans will have died out or evolved into other species; perhaps migrating to planets on other stars in our galaxy.

Meh, I can't vote any of them because I am not afraid of any of them. Iv made my peace with this life and will graciously step into the next life after this. But if I had to wager a guess on what might end civilization I would have to say a virus or parasite that is created by our government and accidentally released on the unwashed masses. Than once infected this would turn the mind to mush, like an agressive form of rabies, making people go wild and crazy. Eventually all those infected would die from malnourishment and the world will try to rebuild only to get hit with the second dose and that will be the final end to humanity lol

According to the Bible, if God does not step in and stop it, there would be no flesh left on Earth. Matthew 24:22 -And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

The ones that are pretty instant, like being vaporized... I'm not too worried about, as it would happen so fast.

Definitely a rapidly spreading AI created disease that creates zombies would be my biggest fear.

None of the above, men and women on average getting into relationships and starting families (if at all) later and later, and we'll just slowly fade away, like the Japanese currently are. It's an accelerating decline, We'll get nervous over silly things and not notice the most deadly enemy of all which is time.

At this point if a new pandemic doesn't wipe out most of the global population, then starvation will get us long before climate change does. Everyone harps on about climate change, but nobody really talks publicly about the actual biggest issue the human race is facing, and that is a global overpopulation crisis. We have expended to beyond our means of resources, and are already consuming 1½ planets worth of resources every year.

peedy · Answer

Ourselves
