is this world in danger of extinction?

Answer 1

No, not at all. The sun will grow into a red giant, and perhaps melt the Earth in about 7 billion years (not million). But more likely the Earth will not be melted, and will just continue going around the Sun. Things will be much better once those pesky human lice are burned off!

Answer 2

In several billion years the Sun will begin to expand and may swallow the Earth. That will be extinction. In the shorter term, there is virtually no danger of it. Bacteria are everywhere including deep underground and they are all alive. If all the animals and plants died off tomorrow the bacteria would hardly notice. For most of the history of life on Earth the only life here was bacteria.l

Answer 3

The world as a whole? No. Certainly human activity is causing a mass extinction event in slow motion. Every year we lose many species because of our destruction of our environment. But other species, who can adapt to our world, thrive. Humans are in danger of population collapse. Because our world is so interconnected by transportation systems, a plague developing in one remote corner of the world has a good chance of being transported worldwide before it can be contained.
Since civilization depends on a vast network of interdependant systems, a major disruption can lead to civilization collapse and the death of billions.

Answer 4

Yes. The universe we reside in is full of dangers. Not only is the sun eventually going to run out of feul to sustain itself then super nova, but black holes are out there all over the place. Huge meteors also threaten our planet, and of course there is Galactis the planet eater:) But lets not live in fear of the sky falling on our heads, for there is no point. Instead use that fear to motivate you into action, to design, build or create space travel/living ideas. Kind of an escape plan. Or a planetary defence system. The options are interesting and varied.

Answer 5

The human race on the planet certainly is. Quite why we should be any different from any of the other species that have preceded us is beyond me.

Life in general will continue until the sun decides to billow into a red giant and blow off our atmosphere.

Answer 6

By world, u need to be specific, but if u r talking about earth, it will happen only after 5 million years, when the sun forms a red giant , or is near about to die, but 5 million years later. if u r talkin about humans, it's 3.5 million years frm now. hope dis helps u.

Answer 7

What a silly sort of question.

Of --course-- it is. It always has been and it always will be. Look at what happened to the Dinosaurs (and that was just one 'great dying' out of 5 or 6 that we know of)

And, ultimately, our own Sun will do us in when it enters the 'red giant' phase of its life-cycle.

i imagine each little thing plausible might want to be performed to maintain languages A language is such an major and worry-free area of a custom..the spread of english has wiped out many indigenous languages.
