Is this the end?
As you probably know us people have a lot on our shoulders to deal with. We have covid 19, riots in places such as Hong Kong (the BNC actually did an issue on this if you want to find out more) and now we have the weather to deal with! Could this really be the thing that wipes us from the surface of the earth?
Everybody knows about the dinosaurs. Big lumbering brutes who got wiped out by an asteroid a couple of million years ago. But could we to suffer a similar fate? If you pay attention to the news you'll that right now things are not going well. There are the extreme disasters destroying millions of homes all over the world, riots that could actually turn into full blown wars and the Coronavirus spreading all over the place all of this together could actually result in the end of humanity and there are number of different reasons on how we could get wiped out.
#1 The Coronavirus could become so serious that it mutates into something a lot deadlier resulting in an incurable virus epidemic
#2 global warming could entirely melt the ice caps causing the extinction not only of everything that lives there but floods so bad that it at the least destroys a few countries
#3 the riots, like I said could turn into wars and if other countries get pulled in could start a nuclear WWIII
#4 the amount of sewage we pump into the oceans could result in serious sickness and the extinction of most marine life

Good points outgoing_piano what do you mean by Covid-19 is getting more serious ? Maybe the population is going down?
Got it in one!

Why do you think it is the end?
Because there's so much happening that it could prove to much for humanity
If it is the end does it mean that the world is in danger.
If it is the end does it mean that the world is in danger.
You are write why do thing it is the end?
I don't understand what you're saying
I am saying that i agree with and i don’t.
Maybe he might think it the end because the population in the world always reduces day by day so he thinks it will maybe wipe away all the people on earth that is why he might have given it that title. delightful_snow
Okay I understand.

Hi Outgoing Piano, i like the way you have pulled all these separate issues together into a broader concern for our continuation. Are there any practical solutions to each of these concerns that you can see people in the world attempting in order to avoid this catastrophe?

People could try and recycle more, stay at least 2 feet away from everyone and people can try and find peace.
I will build on this points and say that recycling is best but,if we do not have good leaders,how can we recycle waste.The leaders representing our countries are the one's to use the tax and other savings to buy these recycling machines for use because,we chose them to rule the country because all the people of the nation cannot travel,attend meetings and think or reason for the nation due to the millions of people.

To be honest, dinosaurs were not "big lumbering brutes". Many dinosaurs were fast ,agile ,and clever.
Yes, but they weren't clever enough to survive the meteor

No . according to the scripture nobody knows the end of the world .
Could we still take steps to prevent further destruction of our planet, though?
Yes,we can ,even though many unbelievable events that were more dangerous than today's one were able to be solved,so why can't today's ones be solved.according to congenial_journalist he said nobody knew the end of the world but that doesn't mean we cannot fight further distruction on the way coming.

Even though the situation in which the world finds it is fire, I not lost hope. Similar events have occurred in the past may be on harsher conditions but the world was able to survive. My hopes thrive on the fact that humans have some antidote to these situations. Talk about technological advancement. In times past people might have been able to detect looming disaster long before it occurs for action to be taken. But now we can predict a pending disaster and prepare for it. For example, evacuating an area or experimenting to find a vaccine . More so, some of the disasters are human cause and can be avoided by us humans
Your comment is really thoughtful. with some good examples. But don't loose hope! Humans, as you say, have come up with lots of clever ways to adapt to our changing climate. Can you give me some further examples of how humans have learnt to live in areas where there is extreme weather? Maybe have a look at how different communities build their houses to see all the clever ways in which humans learn to live near rivers that flood or in areas where tornadoes or earthquakes are regular.

That's not the end,life contains many challenges,and no matter what those challenges would be solved and also brings more knowledge and alertness to us.
This is a very positive post! Can you give me some examples of where humans have faced challenges with extreme weather, and where we have learnt to overcome those challenges?
Yes,humans have faced challenges with extreme weather through the following ways,
1.Some places where there is excessive rainfall has caused flooding and the one that pains me most is that those that are near the sea are in dangerous situation when the sea overflow it banks and many of them are taken away by the sea and never found again.it is a very huge challenge isn't it?
2.becauae of climate change,I can say that,space exploration has been so difficult for astronauts which has make us lose the vitamins that comes from the sun.
3.Extreme weather has led to poverty in some areas since some people will have to evacuate from their area to avoid further distruction.
4.extreme weather has have a very negative impact on students,when it rains heavily students are not able to go to school,which has delayed the syllabus to be learnt and it will also the students will have to learn it their self which will lead to failure in examination.
Through all these,humans have learnt to overcome problems through,
1.Thinking,I am making this point because extreme weather have caused people to think beyond their understanding to overcome the challenges and as it keeps going on, by the time we realize, everybody hands will be in finding solutions to the problem,as there is a saying in our local language that 'one head cannot stand'.
2.Togetherness,
Extreme weather has brought many people together and one interesting thing is that robbery,human sacrifice has not been heard again which mean everybody's concentration is on how to deal with the extreme weather especially the Coronavirus.
3.if extreme weather events did not appear,how will human beings have ideas from to manufacture tools? Because of extreme weather tools have been manufactured.it has opened the the head of many people.in the future if a problem like this come again, don't you think we will be able to fight it?
4.Alertness:it has caused people to be very alert of future happening disasters.do you think if all those things did not happen,we will have the idea to manufacture tools for future disasters?no

Too be honest this is not the end,if we try to follow all the measures given by the government and don't forget prayer
YES THAT IS TRUE.........

Maybe it is the end of human race but we the gorvement regulations we may not be in danger.
