What is the chance of the human race surviving the 21st century? There are many dangers climate change for example, or nuclear war, or a pandemic, or planet Earth being hit by a giant asteroid. Sam and Neil discuss our future and whether we need to start panicing but not before they teach you some useful vocabulary. QUESTION: The species was hunted so much that within a century, every single bird had died out. But do you know which island the dodo was from? Was it: a) The Galapagos b) Mauritius c) Fiji [The answer is at the end of the programme.] VOCABULARY: existential risks dangers that threaten the continuation of human life on Earth the historical record the collection of all written and recorded past events concerning the human race wipes out completely destroys leaving nothing remaining plague infectious, epidemic disease Doomsday final day of the worlds existence; apocalypse false alarm warning given incorrectly so that people wrongly believe something dangerous is about to happen

Of course, we are much smarter than the rest of the species, but that's nothing more than just the tool of surviving. Our intelligence is no more other than just a way of not dying out. If we hadn't invented this tool, we would not have survived in harsh terms of an ancient desert.
So, don't exaggerate our ability to think sophisticated. We inherited that skill casual and without our input.

I couldn't imagine how the world will be in coming days, or even in next hours. It's getting worse and worse. My country confirmed other 5 new cases of infections today, which has been causing worries among citizens. It's hoped that the situation will get better soon! Pray for our world!

A story , not BBC content, said that a mine accident is designed
for the survivors to spread how they miraculously escape from the crisis
to help people who are enduring hardship.
In my near region, it is said that things have possibility to go good or bad.

... because as humans we are much smarter ... - some foul thinking right there or just a poor script... We as humans are not smarter if we kill and cause an extinction of other species without any logical and humanly reason...

People are responsible for many dangers which can wipe out the humanity. In my opinion the most worst scenario for the world will be a nuclear war, but I hope our governments are clever enough to avoid this option.

It was very clever to upload a video on this theme along with such a horrible agenda. it's contributing to overall turmoil...
