While the likelihood of a catastrophic asteroid impact is low, it is not impossible, and scientists are constantly monitoring the sky for any potential threats. Some people believe that the world will end in a more gradual and subtle way, through environmental degradation and climate change. The Earth's climate is undergoing rapid changes due to human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and the burning of fossil fuels, and many scientists warn that if we continue on our current path, we may reach a tipping point from which there is no return. Rising sea levels, extreme weather events, and loss of biodiversity are just some of the consequences of climate change that could threaten the survival of life on Earth.
