1. Ecological collapse

One of the first calamities that can end the world is an ecological collapse. Ecosystems are fragile communities of living things, including people and animals, that interact with the nonliving elements of their surroundings, such as the air and water.

There is a point in time at which ecosystems can no longer withstand the effects of human activity, such as habitat loss or temperature rises, and the research suggests that we may be approaching that threshold.

Can a drought end the world? Well, let’s discuss, for example, Lake Chad, located in West Africa. This is the best example of an ecological collapse. The lake has decreased by 90% as a result of 60 years of drought, excessive water consumption, and the effects of climate change. The lives of almost 40 million people who depend on it in Chad, Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon have been severely impacted by its drastic depletion.

Who is really to blame for the end of the world? Well, humans are the primary change agents, the ones who are really changing everything and contributing to the overall damage to the ecosystem.

  1. Disasters and crisis. the manmade ones are preventable by removing the corrupt politicians that only see to expand their wealth and power. Where once we had statesmen who served the people we now have power hungry who want only rule. Claiming that only government can save us from destruction. yet destruction is the norm under their administrations. When have we ever seen our government or any government build anything that lasts or even on budget. They enrich their supporters and relatives using our ( INVESTMENTS) Taxes. billions left unaccounted for. yet when asked about them display get hurt feelings that we the people should even ask accountability. and refuse to prosecute when proven fraud and deceit. We can avoid these crisis. The ones by nature, not so much!–I, Grampa
