Three global catastrophes that WILL happen

There are at least thee global catastrophes that can happen at any moment and absolutely will happen eventually with one hundred percent certainty . These are not just possible, they are absolutely inevitable - These are not theories , these are guaranteed .
1. An earth facing coronal mass ejection/x class flare will cause an emp that will knock out the entire planets power Grid, causing a complete collapse of human civilization and causing numerous nuclear reactors to melt down.
2. An asteroid will impact the earth creating a global extinction event that will devestate life ln earth as happened in the time of the dinosaurs.
3. Yellowstone super volcano /caldera will erupt obliterating most of North america and coating the earth in volcanic dust that will make farming impossible even as it blocks out the sun creating a global winter and massive starvation.
I wish it was not true but all three of these things ARE going to happen , there is Zero debate on this.
As surely as 1+1=2, these three mass extinction events are on their way.
The question is not if, but when.
There is absolutely no guarantee that one or more of these won't happen in the near future. Hopefully we can all live out our lives before these events occur but it's entirely possible they could happen today, with no warning.
Be prepared.

Debate:
1. I am kind of interested in this happening.
2. We'll zap it.
3. Why can't we figure out how to tap Yellowstone, release the pressure gradually?

It is absolutely possible to harden the power grid so that when we get hit by a CME EMP we will be fine. It wouldn't even be prohibitively expensive. If people do the right thing this one can be prevented from destroying our civilization but so far it isn't being done and we are sitting Ducks. One burp from the sun and its back to the stone age plus a dozen chernobyls.
with enough funding and research we could have a way to redirect asteroids. But so far not nearly enough work and money is going into this and not only do we not currently have the capacity to prevent an asteroid , we don't even have the ability to see it coming. We can only see and detect a portion of asteroids and one could be an hour away and we wouldn't even have any warning . But again; it is possible for humans to prevent this but only if we hurry up and put a Manhattan project level of effort into this before it's too late.
With Yellowstone I do not believe there is any way, even theoretically, to prevent it, and I doubt there will be any time soon.
Governments around the world are constructing seed vaults , underground bunkers and emergency protocols and training to prepare for global catastrophe and when it happens there will be scattered pockets of government and military groups surviving in hardened underground bunkers.
Citizens must do their best to prepare as well. There will be survivors , but very very few, and only those who prepare heavily will have a chance in hell.

The thing that you're leaving out is the probability of these happening. Sure, they will happen sometime in the next 50 billion years or so. But, they have low probability of happening in our life times with the exception of Yellowstone. It may happen in our lifetime, but the probability is still low.

hahah moonshoe you are such an intense character. I love it. So much intensity in your posts
On a serious note, it shouldn't be a surprise at all that some sort of natural disaster that we have little control over will strike. As such, planning for and expecting the worst isn't a bad idea. I am not sure about the 3 events you mentioned above. But generally speaking, some sort of horrible collpse is inevitable, and I was thinking the other day about getting an RV and maybe some guns and non perishable food for my family

I still subcribe to global warming theories. We are a massively disruptive force for the rest of mother nature 
In regards to the astroid, the only way it would get through our EM field and atmosphere without being deterred would be if it were fucking massive. If that's the case, blowing it up will create a lot of potentially destructive debris. Idk how advanced our detection systems are, but we'd have to head it off REALLY early to spread the asteroid debris enough and obliterate it enough to make the aformentioned natural defenses effective.
And I'd love to trip with Moonshoe

You forgot the one most likely to occur: Mass extinctions due to humans. It's already happening, my friends.

Have you ever read up on space colonization?

Do you think it will happen before the big three guaranteed existential risks you listed?
If not, what's your solution?

He listed some immediate solutions, but I do think we'll get out there first. Small ass colonies, but enough to survive for another couple hundred years or so beyond departure.

I'm all about being proactive and trying to slow down global warming. But if Yellowstone goes or a huge asteroid is going to obliterate us, IMO there's nothing proactive that we can do about it.

I think with the right research and technology we can prevent supervolcano's from going off, but there's hardly any money at all being put towards it. Idealy we should be harvesting thermal energy from them, and through research we might determine how to prevent massive eruptions, perhaps by starting tiny ones, or releaving pressure in spots, hitting it with huge lazors, throwing kittys at it, who knows but someone should be testing it
the nuclear reactors should be shut down if they can't survive a sun flare, like wtf.......so that one can be prevented and should have already been prevented

Ho hum, an easily avoided one, another that won't happen and Yellowstone is going to obliterate n America? Just like mt st hellens did a few years back? ho hum.
The asteroids are being monitored as we speak, no large one is headed our way and if one does in the future we will know about it way in advance. This is not 1915. We will leisurely send off a rocket with the correct charges to push the asteroid into a different path. If done far enough away, a tiny fraction of a degree difference in direction means it misses us by millions of miles. Ho hum.
And nuke plants will melt down from emf? On what planet? Those things are very well protected. If nothing else they could shut them down when the flare is detected. Another ho hum.
Nope, none of those things will happen, ever. Nothing to see here folks, sorry to ruin your doomsday thread, moon.

The Sun turning this rock into an uninhabitable wasted land is also guaranteed to happen. I'm not gonna go rushing out to get prepared for it or worry about it as I will of been long dead before it happened. The chances of any one of those scenarios happening within the next 100 years are probably no more likely than me dropping dead the second I post this reply.

If we were able to extract enough energy from super volcanoes, then we would likely mitigate an eruption. That would be a lot of energy though.
