    ABOUT

    HOLLYWOOD LOVES DOOMSDAY.Film producers have through the years looked

    at the popularity of this genre as a way to

    make money. However, there are some truths

    in these films. In an article from CBSNEWS,

    scientists concluded there were 9 possibleways that life on Earth could end.

    1. CLIMATE CHANGE

    The mother of all apocalyptic fears, climate change is the biggest threat facing t

    planet, many scientists say. Climate change could make extreme weather moresevere, increase droughts in some areas, change the distribution of animals and

    diseases across the globe, and cause low-lying areas of the planet to be subme

    in the wake of rising sea levels. The cascade of changes could lead to political

    instability, severe drought, famine, ecosystem collapse and other changes that

    Earth a decidedly inhospitable place to live.

    2. ASTEROID!

    It's the mainstay of disaster movies, but

    scientists are legitimately worried that a spacerock could wipe out Earth. A meteor impact

    probably doomed the dinosaurs, and in the

    Tunguska event, a massive meteoroid

    damaged about 770 square miles (2,000

    square kilometers) of the Siberian forest in

    1908. Even more frightening, perhaps, is that

    astronomers only know about a fraction of the

    space rocks lurking in the solar system.

    3. PANDEMIC THREAT

    New deadly pathogens crop up every year: Recent pandemics have include

    outbreaks of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), bird flu, and, mo

    recently, a coronavirus called MERS that originated in Saudi Arabia. And becaus

    of our highly interconnected, global economy, a deadly disease could spread lik

    wildfire. "The threat of a global pandemic is very real," said Joseph Miller, co

    author (along with Ken Miller) of the textbook "Biology" (Prentice Hall, 2010).

    4. FUNGUS AMONG US

    Though bacterial threats are dangerous, fungal threats are even scarier, said David W

    curator at the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology at the University of California, Berkele

    "We've had a new amphibian fungal disease that has just had devastating effects,"

    said of the chytrid fungus that is wiping out frogs across the United States.

    An equally fatal fungus in humans would be catastrophic. And though bacter

    deadly, antibiotics are plentiful. By comparison, we know much less about tre

    fungal infections, Wake told LiveScience.

    5. ENGINEERED DISEASE

    Natural diseases aren't the only ones to fear.

    In 2011, the scientific community was outraged that researchers had engineere

    mutant version of the bird flu H5N1 that was transmissible in ferrets and transmi

    via the air. The results sparked fears that engineered deadly diseases co

    inadvertently escape from the lab or be intentionally released, leading to a gl

    pandemic.

    6. NUCLEAR WAR

    Many scientists are still worried about the classic end-of-the-world threat: gl

    nuclear war. Beyond North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's saber rattling and Irsecretive nuclear efforts, massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons around the g

    could wreak destruction if they were to get into the wrong hands. Last year,

    Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, a nontechnical magazine on global security foun

    in 1945 by former Manhattan project physicists, moved the Doomsday Clock, at

    minutes to midnight. The Doomsday Clock shows how close humanity is

    destruction via nuclear or biological weapons or global climate change.

    7. ROBOT ASCENSION

    "The Terminator" may be science fiction, but killing machines are not far from real

    The United Nations recently called for a ban on killer robots -- presumably becau

    experts worried that several countries were developing them.

    Many computer scientists think the singularity, the point at which artific

    intelligence overtakes human intelligence, is near. Whether those robots will

    benevolent helpers or the scourge of humanity is still up for debate. But a lot can

    wrong when there are hyperintelligent robots armed with lethal weapons runni

    around.

    8. OVERPOPULATION

    The fear of an overpopulated globe has been around since the 18th century, whe

    Thomas Malthus predicted that population growth would cause mass starvation anovertax the planet. With the global population at 7 billion and counting, man

    conservationists think population growth is one of the key threats to the planet. O

    course, not everyone agrees: Many think population growth will stabilize in the nex

    50 years, and that humanity will innovate its way out of the negative consequence

    of the overcrowding that does occur.
