It is a little terrifying that, at any point, earth could travel into a life-ending rock that we never saw coming. We have to bank a lot on just how empty space is and not think about it very much.
I’m early 60’s.

I’ve spent ZERO time fretting over a meteor hitting Earth and causing an extinction event.

I’ve spent a good amount of time worrying that humans would kill billions of humans.

Odds are your apocalyptic scenario will come true before mine. But at least yours will have a little bit of warning first -- even if just a few minutes.

I’m betting on a long, slow (100-500 years) eradication of billions of humans as large parts of the inhabited earth become uninhabitable due to climate change……although, if the theory about the Atlantic Ocean conveyor belt is true, it’ll happen faster…..

I doubt climate change will kill all humans…….as individuals or in small groups, we’re smart, adaptable, creative, etc. In large groups*, we’re stupid

*large is a hard number to define. 500-1,000?
