Asteroids, Nuclear Wars, even (though extremely remote) Black Holes?! There are so many factors that in the end could decide the fate of human civilization! The only reason that we, as a race, are here in front of our keyboards today is since we were lucky. There were many plagues, epidemics, and other disasters that had the potential to end Human civilization, but Nature decided it wasn't our time. How do we know we'll be so lucky in the future?
I mean to say, remember the Black Plague that swept through Europe? It wiped MILLIONS of people; men, women, and children.
One asteroid alone ended the dominant species of their time, the dinosaurs, so who's to say that couldn't happen to us. As the dominant species of this earth, WE are the ones at greatest risk.
My question to you all, what can WE, as a people, do to prevent such a calamity?
