This is the last part of my Tribute to Earth Day. I have taken all of the information from the documentary Last Days on Earth, Wikipedia and NASA information. Let us do a little recap:
7. Gamma Ray Burst and Black Hole
6. Intelligent Machines
5. Super Volcano's
The next most feasible thing Earth may face would be the list below:
4. Asteroids also called minor planets or planetoids. There are hundreds of thousands asteroids orbiting our solar system. It's collision to a planet has proven to be catastrophic. Asteroid collision to earth causes the Dinosaurs extinction which enable our evolution. Since this is one of the most feasible catastrophy our planet could face in the near future, scientist has been trying to find ways to divert asteroids path to prevent it from colliding to our beautiful planet. NASA has been observing one asteroid that will be orbiting between our satellites and the planet earth in April 13, 2029. Because this comet orbit is getting closer and closer, scientist has been working on solutions to assist in changing an asteroids orbit to avoid colliding to our beautiful planet.
3. Nuclear War - We are our own worst enemy. The creation of nuclear weapons is an amazing achievement but carried tremendous danger. Russians and the US still have thousands of weapons which is enough to destroy both countries and the world. According to Kennette Benedict, the number of weapons we have is equivalent of 80,000 Hiroshima Bombs. The bomb on Hiroshima killed 100,000 people. The amount of bombs we have could kill 8billion people and there's only 6billion people on the planet. SCARY right!? They really elaborate more but I think you should look into it. I don't want to be misquoted. But they have mentioned that 20 missiles could transform the planet.
2. Deadly Virus! Incurable infections disease like a deadly flu. Look back 90 years, we had the greatest pandemics ever to hit homo sapiens perhaps wipping out 40million people which is more than the death on World War I. This global tragedy was caused by a flu caught by less than 3% of the people who caught it. Pandemics are like earthquake, tsunamis and hurricanes they occur. There have been 10 of them in the last 300 years. Yikes!!!!
1. GLOBAL WARMING! This is happening now. The amount of CO2 being released on a daily basis is 70,000,000 tons. The effect of too much CO2 on our atmosphere causes our temperature to go up. It has been said that EARTH is more in danger in our hands than in other naturla Disaster.
There you go.
