berniemom2012 Deplorable CatRWall User ID: 6493463 United States 11/05/2012 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So what do you think we have to fear the most in this world? Quoting: Artlicious What has the most potential to become reality and cause REAL DOOM? What are the top 5 current disasters / conspiracies / events that are taking place, have taken place or will soon take place, that you think will have the greatest effect on this planet and it's inhabitants? Be as specific or as vague as you want to be. __________________________________________ For me I think the most real threat to humanity might possibly come from: 1) Solar/Cosmic Doom .. not sure if it will be a flare, CME, something never seen, an asteroid hit, a ribbon of high density/energy space, or what.. but something feels like it's coming/changing. 2) Geological Doom .. volcanoes, earthquakes, sinkholes, etc. Possibly related to the cosmic doom. 3) Climate Change Doom .. drought, floods, strange weather. 4) Economical Doom .. The whole world falls into a deep depression. 5) Food/Water Doom .. shortages in supply, high prices, not much left for the smaller, poorer countries/people of the world. This list of mine is constantly changing and evolving, but these are probably my top 5 at the moment. I didn't get very specific, but please feel free to in your list. Give links, your theory, etc... if you want. Lets see what everyone is focused on! Climate change - Of the items in your list, it is by far the biggest, longest-lasting, and hardest to prep for. Economic doom is in our immediate future, but I predict it will resolve in about 5 years' time, we'll have 5-10 good years, then climate, food & possibly solar/geological doom will bring it down. For good. |

Lemon User ID: 677476 United States 11/05/2012 09:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 1) Economic colapse. It's more of a when will it happen than an if it will happen. 2) Tornado / Ice Storm. Both hit my area frequently. 3) New Madrid Quake. I live in the area. 4) Food / Water shortage. A few years of drought in a row, or corporate farms finding exporting food maximizes profits. 5) Power outage. From weather, EMP, or the coal plants being shut down for environmental reasons. **I'm all out of bubblegum |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25390958 There is no number 2 through 5 yeah, lately I've been thinking that they'll confiscate all private property, including land and homes. They will decide where everyone lives.... That would be incredibly hard for them to do, not that it can't be done. But lets hope not.. that would pretty much be the end of the world. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 24518639 United States 11/09/2012 12:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Since no matter what happens, my family will have to shelter in place. It could be EMP, flu pandemic, natural diseaster. I have tried to think of what I need to be stealthy about being there. You can heat/cook with the fireplace in the beginning but that can be smelled from far away and then zeroed in on. So, I am stockpiling bottled propane that I'll be switching to after a short while. thinking of how to make the house look deserted But keep out invaders. Things like that. |
