There is a remarkable quantity of ways that earth can
be destroyed. These are the ways that I can recall off the top of my head. I am
certain there are more. Feel free to write them in the comment box.
Earthquakes. We’ve always had them. Some
charts say we have more than we used to, some say the opposite. But without
question the planet Earth likes to shake it’s booty.
SuperVolcanoes- some say there are over 20
and some say 5. The one in USA could blow anytime....Those
in the blow range will be obliterated. Ash
content will turn the skies black and cover most of USA and Canada. Acid
rain will poison our water supply, kill most of the fish, and make us sick. Death of all vegetation in large portions
of USA & Canada will result in starvation.
Climate Changes will result in more
frequent and powerful: Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Fires, Famines, Floods, Surges, Landslides, Avalanches, Destructive winds.
Ocean warming could
cause Methane to rise from the ocean floor and kill all oxygen breathing creatures. Loss of ocean currents
as the iceburgs melt diluting the salt that creates the currents.
Rising sea levels-Loss of viable water.
Wind storms-Loss of viable soil.
Solar flares from the Sun damage to all electronics, devastates our electricity dependent economy.
Radiation poison due to the loss of the electro-magnetic shield and the stripping of our atmosphere.
Asteroids slamming
into earth.
Collison with a
rogue comet from outer space.
Magnetic pole
flipping: Unable to navigate waters by
electronic devices, Unable to fly planes dependent upon
electrical devices, Prolonged loss of Electromagnetic
shield protection.
Loss of Atmosphere.
Nuclear War.
So far, there have been FIVE mass extinctions on earth.
The worst one, 250 million years ago, had 96 percent of marine species and 70 percent of land species die off. It took millions of years to recover.
Many scientists predict that we're on track for a sixth mass extinction and given the very many ways we can get there, I felt the need to send a fabulous group of brilliant children and scholars, plus soldiers to Titan in my book: Destination Titan.
BLURB
With Earth destined for a new ice-age, seven
scientists and twenty-two brilliant teenagers are gathered in a compound deep
within a mountain. There they struggle to come together as a group and complete
the projects needed for their survival in the inhospitable environment of
Titan, one of Saturn’s moons. However, certain factions on Earth have no
intention of letting Project Einstein succeed. Keeping the group alive and
productive is the hardest task Colonel Lancaster and his soldiers have ever
had, but they are determined to succeed no matter how well the saboteurs have
planned. The continuation of the human race depends upon it.
DESTINATION: TITAN
