The Map of Doom | Apocalypses Ranked

This follows my journey to find and rank all of the biggest threats to humanity. Grab yourself the Map of Doom poster here: store.dftba.com/collections/d... Link to Veritasium’s Asteroids video video:    • These are the asteroids to worry about   This year was the first experience we’ve had of a global disaster affecting every single person on Earth. And also how unprepared society was to deal with it, despite plenty of people giving warnings that this was going to happen at some stage. But in the midst of all the doom I started to wonder, what other things could threaten humanity, that we are not thinking about? So I made the Map of Doom to list all the threats to humanity in one place. But just finding them all is not enough. I wanted to find a way of comparing the risks of all of these disaster scenarios. So this video follows my attempt at doing that, and I think I’ve hit on a great way to visually compare all these dangers, which I haven’t seen anyone do before, so hopefully by the end of the video you’ll have a better idea about what the biggest threats are, and how they compare to this pandemic. #existentialrisk #climatechange #DomainOfScience -- References --- Thanks to Kurtis Baute for climate change info: www.kurtisbaute.com youtube.com/user/ScopeofScience [1] 10 ways the world is most likely to end, explained by scientists bit.ly/3fPiZK9 [2] Fifth of countries at risk of ecosystem collapse, analysis finds bit.ly/3qfpGKc [3] Global Catastrophic Risk bit.ly/2VgwusX [4] Human Extinction bit.ly/3ocAcjP [5] Global Challenges Foundation (pdf) bit.ly/3mqo9Pi [6] Deadliest Earthquake bit.ly/2ViLaYo [7] If all the plankton died bit.ly/2HVX5IQ [8] Gamma ray burst bit.ly/37cMilS bbc.in/39t11w6 [9] Asteroid Impacts Death Risk bit.ly/3fP4ciP [10] West coast US earthquake probabilities on.doi.gov/2VegasL [11] How many people die of earthquakes per year? bbc.in/3obBjQP on.natgeo.com/36hvGdF [12] Most deadly Earthquakes in history bit.ly/2JnLliN [13] Asteroid Impact Frequency and Risks bit.ly/36hfGIx bit.ly/3mgoVyh [14] Supervolcanoes bit.ly/3o4iJtN [15] Average frequency of supervolcanoes bbc.in/36lFB1M [16] Climate change deaths per year bit.ly/36hvZoP bit.ly/2Vg6u0H bit.ly/3mp9mEG [17] Deaths due to climate change bit.ly/39sOhVV [18] Global Carbon Emissions Per Year on.doi.gov/3ob3hMe [19] Estimating Future Death Tolls bit.ly/3fQbqCR [20] Frequency of Pandemics bit.ly/2JqQrKS [21] Worst pandemics in history bit.ly/36kVPZe [22] Climate Tipping Points bit.ly/39uAazw [23] The richest 1% carbon emissions bit.ly/3mmMdCL [24] People killed by asteroids bit.ly/39vrI31 [25] The London Beer Flood bit.ly/3fNjRyZ -- Posters --- DFTBA Store: store.dftba.com/collections/d...
