Today I'm going to tell you how the world might end or at least how mankind might end. That's
always a great conversation we all think about it every once in a while how's it all gonna
end I think when we got to the atomic age we all started to realize that the world could possibly
end tomorrow the thought always sits in the back of our heads as things happen in the news that
thought jumps to the front of our heads and then we gotta deal with it I grew up like most gen xers
thinking nuclear war was inevitable and just could be a matter of time until it's all over today we
look at the different ways scientists believe the world will end or at least mankind will end
it's happened before not to mankind remember the Dinosaurs the T-Rex the Raptor the stegosaurus
and the likosaurus they all got wiped out do you know what a likosaurus is that is a dinosaur that
always hits the like button on a YouTube video let's all Pretend We're like a sources and hit
that like button there are several organizations like the global Foundation that put out these
papers every year or two today I'm going to tell you about the 10 scenario that most scientists
believe could happen to us eventually so sit back relax and I'm going to tell you what our
next apocalypse could be got it get it good let's take a look number 10 future risks now this one
isn't your standard one this is one they kind of put out there as something we don't know about
yet nothing that's come on our radar maybe some future technology we don't know about could just
destroy the planet you know let's say for some reason lasers end up drilling into the Earth
and the Earth just implodes or something like that you know maybe a zombie apocalypse like
The Walking Dead something the world doesn't know about could happen the zombie apocalypse I mean I
know some people out there think it's real and it's going to happen but if you think about it
I mean there's certain bacteria and amoebas and everything else like that that have affected
people's brain I mean if something like that got loosed what if it starts you know doing that to
the entire planet and we all walk around like zombies so yeah future risks that's number 10.
number nine solar Geo engineering one of the worries we have is global warming which is later
on on this list so there are a lot of scientists that believe that solar geoengineering could save
the planet from getting too hot you know all those chemtrail stories well they come from
this there are scientific theories that think if we put something into the stratosphere like an
aerosol that has reflective properties to reflect some of the heat back out into space they think
that could save the planet from global warming now there's a fear and theories that this could
actually work against us and make the planet too cold so we try and save ourselves from
global warming and bring on a new Ice Age that eventually kills all the crops and hundreds of
millions of people right now there's just computer simulations going on with it they haven't done any
real experiments but my understanding is Harvard is actually planning one on a very small scale
number eight artificial intelligence yeah this is one that Elon Musk says he's terribly afraid
of he says this is what's going to end us this is worse than nuclear war global warming artificial
intelligence will replace mankind most scientists believe that there's about a 50 or 60 percent
chance that artificial intelligence will be able to perform most tasks as well or better than
humans within the next 25 years meaning there's no need for us to have jobs there's no need for
us to do anything and eventually the artificial intelligence might see us as useless honestly
think how many human beings you know right now that are completely useless and could be replaced
I mean once you get past the science part and the possibilities that this could happen just look to
some of the movies we had if you want to kind of understand how this could happen I mean look
at the Terminator series or the Matrix those are obviously Science Fiction and Fantasy type
things but maybe they're really just a cautionary Tale number seven a super volcano eruption now we
have volcanoes that go off all the time sometimes they create some problems people lose houses in
St Helens blew up and a few people died you had one in Iceland go off some years back and that
kind of screwed up air travel but the type they're worried about are the super volcanoes like the one
in Yellowstone National Park this one's a Caldera it's not the traditional volcano I guess you could
say where it's like a Mountaintop looks like a triangle this one's kind of flat with the ground
or kind of goes in a little bit if this one blows up it could block out the sun making us extremely
cold and killing all our crops and probably most our livestock if that happens it doesn't clear up
in a couple weeks or months we're talking years and years for that Ash to fall out of the sky
by then we're all done unless you really have a nice setup and an underground bunker a super
volcano blew up 74 000 years ago and ejected so much debris into the atmosphere scientists
believe that caused the Earth to Cool by several degree degrees Celsius and some of the scientists
believe that this caused the greatest mass plant and animal Extinction in human history that's one
of those wait and see ones we really don't know what's going to happen I mean we have different
things to measure the pressure and the Caldera and Yellowstone and other volcanoes but we don't know
when it's just going to decide to blow up it could happen tomorrow number six the asteroid impact
this one has been done in movies they believe this is what actually killed the dinosaurs asteroids
and rocks and all kinds of stuff collide with the Earth's atmosphere all the time sometimes they
make it down to the Earth's surface usually the size of like a softball maybe scientists believe
that about every 120 000 years an asteroid large enough to cause a global catastrophe hits the
earth scientists believe that if one one-tenth the size of the one that actually killed off the
dinosaurs hit the Earth today it would send enough stuff into the atmosphere it could block out the
Sun for six months to a year again killing crops and causing a famine that could kill hundreds
of millions of people these days NASA has been sending things up to meet asteroids to kind of
crash into them to hopefully develop some kind of defense system for major asteroids matter of fact
they just crashed one into an asteroid the other day I don't know what happened with that though
for five biological warfare or chemical warfare if you spend any time in the military you get kind of
briefings and you learn and you take classes on chemical and biological warfare I can tell you
right now it is one of the ugliest things we're dealing with on this planet there are nerve agents
blood agents that can be put into the air put into the water supply there's so many things to
apply chemical and biological weapons it's scary and the way they kill you is not pleasant the
strange thing about it is it's not as expensive as having a real army or developing nuclear weapons
almost any country could do this Saddam Hussein who was backwards as all get out he had chemical
weapons he put him on the Kurds mustard gas it was horrible there's some conspiracy theories
that the whole pandemic we just had was some form of biological weapon I don't know about that one
but it is doable number four pandemics yeah we know about pandemics we're kind of at the tail
end of one right now supposedly gone we still have covid-19 but the pandemic itself is gone
meaning we've Fallen below the threshold that qualifies it as a pandemic well twice in modern
history plagues have made it to almost every corner of the earth killing almost 20 percent
of the population in a few decades and I'm not talking the population of a state city or country
the entire planet the plague happened in the 5th and the 14th centuries diseases and illnesses that
can travel the globe they're they're very rare we just talked about this in another video the
Spanish Flu which happened in during World War One the SARS outbreak Ebola in most cases we have ways
to deal with those but what if we don't in the beginning of covid we really didn't have much
about it we had knowledge of it but we didn't have anything to protect ourselves from it past
masks and washing our hands with that kind of part of it is we're starting to have antibiotic
resistant bacteria so when you do get sick the typical antibiotics we have right now don't fix it
number three ecological collapse now ecosystems can collapse they have in the past Africa is a
perfect example they've had 60 70 years of drought and a lot of their Lakes have dried up a lot of
lakes that people depended on of course once the lake dries up the vegetation dies and a lot
of people used to rely on Lake Chad right now it's like 10 of what it used to be now that's
just one example one of the biggest worries is the Amazon if that turned into a ecological collapse
scientists believe we'd never recover they've been chopping down the Amazon for decades and right now
they figure we lose about ten thousand acres every single day that are either cut down or burned now
from 2004 to 2012 it did slow down new people came to power changed some laws and since 2018 they've
been back at it at a pretty good Pace too it's not just on land either there's marine ecosystems that
could collapse as well like the Great Barrier Reef number two catastrophic climate change now the
climate is always changing I mean we've had ice ages temperatures rise temperatures fall but for
whatever reason if one were to get too extreme there's a Tipping Point that the world would
probably never recover from I'm sure at least in our lifetimes now there's a whole bunch that
goes into this and there's arguments on each side one thing they do know the climate is changing it
always has but the biggest question is are humans adding to the natural cycle of climate change and
if we are are we going to get it to that Tipping Point where we don't recover that's where the
controversy is I'm not getting into it because I'm not a scientist but there is a potential to
basically kill off everything on the planet if we got too warm or too cold maybe polar bears
and walruses would survive if it got too cold I don't know but if it gets too warm yeah you're
not gonna be able to visit Florida anymore that'll be the first state to go uh right before we get to
number one don't forget we have another Channel called on this day there is a link down below
we'd love it if you went over there and watch some videos give some thumbs up some likes on
them just like this video alright on to number one and number one nuclear warfare yes this is
one of the ones that's more realistic than just about anything it could happen literally at any
time sometime that threat is high sometimes it's kind of low sometimes it's in the middle right
now I get the vibe we're kind of on high there's a lot of weird Badness going on in the world and
it could really happen but then again I went to high school during the 80s and they told us it
could happen then too if a nuclear weapon just one goes off let's say in a city there's about a five
mile to ten mile radius where nothing's going to survive they figure 95 to 99 of the people in that
area plants people animals would just go away some completely vaporized as you go out away from the
blast it gets a little less damage and you have a better chance of survival now it turns into a
total Global thing yeah it's gonna be bad I mean if it went back and forth with big superpowers uh
we're talking that super volcano no situation along with like the asteroid impact situation
well they would all kind of happen at once not the asteroid hitting the Earth but sort of the
same effect besides putting radiation all over the planet in a situation like that it would probably
throw so much stuff into the air that we would you know go through that next Ice Age situation
the people that do survive would be in a survival of a fittest situation you won't have the police
to call you'll have to defend yourself societies around the globe would just collapse these course
are all predictions but it seems pretty feasible if you know what a nuclear weapon or what several
dozen nuclear warheads could do to a country a continent a state whatever there's been several
times in history where nuclear warfare was almost started by a miscommunication or an accident
all right I hope you guys enjoyed this little tour through the apocalypse I hope you got
some information out of it everybody have a great day be nice to each other
