UM-Bot Posted April 28, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Scientists have warned that world governments are not doing enough to prepare for disaster scenarios. In a new report entitled 'Global Catastrophic Risks', researchers at Oxford University have outlined the biggest threats to mankind, each with the potential to kill more than 10% of the population.

SD455GTO Posted April 28, 2016 #3 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Speaking frankly, I know there's nothing we can do about the "SuperVolcano", such as one that is supposed to be (and probably is) under Yellowstone National Park. Just try to get VERY far away from it if something begins to stir. Even then, ash and a form of fallout could mess up North America for quite a while. I mean QUITE a while.

theotherguy Posted April 28, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 28, 2016 http://www.fhi.ox.ac.uk/gcr-report.pdf Here's the (PDF) report from 2008. This is the only one I could find, so it may the one the article's referring to, even if it's eight years late. Interestingly, the median chance of human extinction by 2100 is reported at 19%. It's very informal, though; it's basically asking a bunch of conference attendees, "What's the biggest threat in the next 100 years and how many people will it kill?"

A rather obscure Bassoon Posted April 28, 2016 #7 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Too be honest, we all know that the current human population would be unsustainable and most likely Governments would hide in their little bunkers until the big dying was over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infernal Gnu Posted April 28, 2016 #9 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Folks, the Lord did not give you a spirit of fear! Everything will be fine if you are saved! Jesus will return before any of these disasters happen to gather up his sheep and transport them to their heavenly eternal home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashyne Posted April 28, 2016 #10 Share Posted April 28, 2016 When people make such risk reports they seem to only look at one side of the picture and don't seem to consider that as risk increases, technology also improves so there will be a point where technological advancement would resolve the risk without catastrophe.

Why not Posted April 28, 2016 #11 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I tend to agree with BASSOON. At last the US government would not let on anything was coming (if they knew in advance). It already seems they are trying to thin the herd. If a catastrophic event happened that would be their green light in try to insert the one world government they so seem to want. I Love my country, but hate the people that run it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissJatti Posted April 29, 2016 #14 Share Posted April 29, 2016 What I don't understand is... why would a town or city be remade underneath a volcano, especially when that same volcano erupted and destroyed that town/city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farmers and workers need a place near their crops. I guess they figure it is worth the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zalmoxis Posted June 7, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Those things aren't imminent. So, I would say, if the Yellowstone caldera explodes I ain't gonna be calling them about it and saying "Why didn't you warn me!?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
