  Just increase the density of neutrons by 0.1%.

  The universe will probably cease to exist.

  I’d love a story about a supervillain who was around so long and was so successful that when he eventually stopped his villainy everyone keeps blaming him for everything that goes wrong even when there is basically no evidence

    Maybe that’s how religion started.

  Salt one doesn’t make any sense.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one confused by the concept of salt undergoing metamorphosis

  2 means “just” removing earth’s magnetic field, van allen belts don’t shield from anything, these are trapped solar wind

  5 could have side effect of disturbing ozone layer, on top of, yknow, just suffocating every animal

  7 is not even wrong

  10 sounds like CIA’s final plan for assassinating Castro: just let him die of old age

  The fern factories point sounds like a conspiracy though.

  2% sounds easy until you think about how much fucking energy that is. If we back it off to like 1% we can catapult ourselves onto the kardashev scale. #10 would still be at play, and it would be even more disastrous than before!

    Well it says “siphoning”, but I think it rather refers to just blocking the light.

    Which is something we’ve actually thought about and which definitely doesn’t have any global risks attached to it.

  This really makes you appreciate the bazillion factors that went to making Earth a place where life can thrive.

  Really sucks humans are wreaking it, and the only ones who can make a significant impact to reverse course don’t care.

    “The planet is fine. The people are fucked.” - George Carlin.

    Nobody is"wrecking it". We may fiddle with the biosphere until we can’t thrive anymore, that much is true.

    The planet and the life on it will continue until the sun expands in the far, far future.
