is the world likely to exerience a signifigant physical disaster in the next 5 years?

Answer 1

between the war, emissions of CO2 methane etc, Radiation, In the next five years there is no telling what can happen. Hopfully the war will end by then and new discoveries that will help the environment will come out.

Answer 2

You should define what you consider "significant" to be. And I could also ask you what you mean by "physical disaster," but I will give you the best answer I can for right now:

Hurricanes? Yes.

Tornadoes? Yes.

Deadly earthquakes? Yes.

Really massive, huge and destructive earthquakes that kill thousands of people? Possible and likely.

Global warming effects on scales we don't really understand? That is going on right now. But the global warming thing is a whole different and very complicated question.

Terrible heat waves that kill people? We've got one right now.

Droughts that kill people? We've got those now, too.

A significant volcanic eruption (like Mt Rainer near Seattle) that kills lots of people? Not especially likely in 5 years, but very likely in the next few decades.

A smaller scale volcanic eruption that harms people? That goes on all the time.

A supermassive volcanic eruption (like the magma under Yellowstone Park) that would likely destroy much of life on the planet and drastically change the planet's environment forever? That will probably not happen for a few thousand years or more.

Answer 3

There're enough natural disasters that can occur on large scale that yes, there is a very good chance *something* will happen.
Large scale drought? Already got that in Africa, causing immigration concerns. There's also one in the Southeast US, wreaking havoc there.
More deadly hurricanes/typhons? I mean, there're already reports out that the rebuilding in New Orleans (levee wise) is only marginally better than it was before.
Large earthquake? Maybe somewhere, and heck, maybe this'll cause a large tsunami or tidal wave. Seismic events happen a lot, and there is little to do to predict them. One could be happening at this very moment.

Answer 4

there is no specific reason to experience that 2012 is plenty greater probable than 2015, 2500, 10 million advert or 2003, it incredibly is the final time we heard a great style of those comparable hoaxes on the subject of the top of the international, the planet Nibiru, pole shifts, etc. What makes you have self belief this made-up nonsense? human beings have been making up end-of-the-international prophecies for actually centuries. there is no foundation for any of the stuff at present making its way around the information superhighway. that is not in line with technological understanding, and that is not in line with any actual historical prophecies. So what could or not that is in line with?

Answer 5

maybe some, weather is changing a little in some places and a lot in other, beacuse of global warming, high tide is a very good example of it, maybe in not to much seas will erase some shores
