There are several groups of people out there suggesting that their pet issue will be the end of civilization.
Let's look at some!
Global warming. It's going to get a little warmer. Beach will be inland of where it is now. Storms might get worse. Drought in some areas, some arid areas might get more rain.
I don't think it's going to have disastrous consequences.
Immigration will kill western civilization. In Europe anyway, I think this one has legs. Native European people have well below replacement birth rate, the Arab african immigrants there are multiplying like tribbles. In 50 years Eurabia may well come into existence.
Nibiru. Supposedly an extra planet on a 3600 year orbit. Advanced civilization living on it. The gravity causes massive earth change. Not buying this one.
Economic collapse. Civilization has seen economic collapse and lived through it. It will suck but won't end us.
Any more?
What do y'all think of these?
