Oxford Scientists Warn Humanity Has Just 25 Years Left — “Russian Roulette” with Civilization’s Survival
Oxford Scientists Warn Humanity Has Just 25 Years Left — “Russian Roulette” with Civilization’s Survival: Tick, tick, tick. Humanity’s clock may be running out — and faster than most dare to believe. Top Oxford scientists are warning that the world could face collapse within the next 25 years, with the odds of survival little better than playing Russian roulette. Toby Ord, a leading researcher on existential risk, says there’s a 1-in-6 chance civilization will collapse within 75 years. His colleague Nick Bostrom paints an even darker picture: a 1-in-4 chance of total human extinction by 2125. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Jared Diamond bluntly calls humanity’s chances of making it past 2050 no better than a coin toss.
