A new report from Oxford University, entitled "Global Catastrophic Risks", outlines the biggest threats to mankind, each with the potential to kill more than ten percent of the human population.
These treats range from asteroid hits and warfare to super-volcanoes and man-made viruses.
Annihilation from robots was also considered.
Our reality. This world we live in. Is on the brink of a great change...
The go-go boots are out as well.
"History teaches us that many of these things are more likely than we intuitively think." Sebastion Fraquhar, director at Oxford's Global Priorities Project.
"Hold on to your butts." - That one guy in Jurassic Park, immaculately portrayed by Samuel Jackson.
The particular point of this report is that governments need to get on track to help divert any and all of these possibilities... Taking seriously the fact that we are not prepared for a future that is fast approaching. A future that could easily divert away from what is best for humanity.
