Lifestyle How does the world end...?

[BeardOfKnowledge]

If you're going to put the term in quotes, there's not much worth discussing.

It's in quotations because those who study climate are still in debate about the factors surrounding it. The large scientific community that we're routinely told unanimously agree on it are mostly composed of people from peripherally related scientific fields. It's politicized to the point that many climate panels don't have climatologists sitting on them because they won't agree with the people from other fields who need climate change to ensure the funding of their work.

but the global instability due to its effects has already begun in many parts of the world.

You'll find most (if not all) of those places were also unstable long before the premise of climate change came to the forefront. The individuals who will be most negatively effected by climate change will be the middle and lower class of developed nations.

Nearly everything you just wrote is incorrect, but I don't have much interest in debating it in this thread. Maybe we can make a spinoff climate change thread though I don't really have much interest in the link spamming from both of us that will doubtless follow. I think maybe we can just check back in over the coming decades and see where the world goes and make our determinations then. It's my deepest hope that you are somehow correct.

Read up on the IPCC and how they select their authors. It isn't based on credentials in the field of climatology. They're a UN puppet group.

There's no sense in making a spinoff thread. You're incorrectly assuming that because I think the big business that is climate change is a scam, means that I don't recognize that the climate does change. I simply sit somewhere in the middle.

Better title; how does your world end?

some say the world will end in fire, some say the world will end in ice.
I say the world will end in packaging.

AI goes skynet or nuclear winter. Either could be happen in the next 10 years.

It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th.

Most likely scenario is liver failure or heart attack as there is family history of cardiac issues.

1) 4 billion years from now the Milky Way will collide with the Andromeda galaxy.
If that doesn't destroy the world...

2) in ~5 billion years the sun will begin to die, swelling up and possibly engulfing earth. At the very least, swelling up so big that life, as we know it, is no longer possible
if that doesn't destroy the world....

3) Dark Matter is causing the universe to expand at an ever increasing rate, carrying all the matter within it away from each other. The universe will reach an expansion speed that no longer allows for the formation of stellar nebulas, as gasses become spread too sparsely through out it. The absence of these stellar cradles marks the cessation of star creation forever. From here, a last star is birthed, destined for a lonely end. The remaining stars burn off their fuel then die, some exploding, some falling back in on itself to create black holes who also share the fate of death as they decay from Hawking Radiation. One by one, stars flicker, emit great amounts of energy, then fade into darkness with no hope for a new generation.

Eventually, the speed of the universe's expansion exceeds the speed of light, meaning all remaining stars will no longer be visible as their light particles are being pulled away faster than they can get to your eyes. Imagine being alive then, be it on a planet or in a habitable space station, to witness the night sky slowly lose its glow, to see the breath of the constellations slowly cease, to see the gods of the ancients die...

The idea of peering into the great infinity and finding...nothing, how would that affect the human psyche, to look up from your planet, or outward from a porthole in the space ship, and know that the sight of that once beautiful backdrop to our existence was an experience for the long-since-dead?

If you're alive long enough, you'd experience the drop in the universe's temperature as matter moves from low to high entropy, losing their energy and no longer having a way to produce more. Somehow, if you were able to pull away from the universe, in some god-like third person view, you'd find the universe descending into an impossibly vast, cold, dark, lifeless end.

Certainly that, above all else, will be the ultimate destroyer of worlds.
