My contention is that geologists are coming to wild conclusions. A supereruption actually occurring, of course, can’t be denied, but any event causing mass extinctions in the near future is most likely to be WW3.
By “actually occuring”, I meant to say witnessing one happening with one’s own eyes. (TV coverage would suffice too.)
Or an asteroid strike, or a comet strike, or a rouge black hole, or a gamma ray burst,or a supernova, or a Higgs field reversal...Lots of possible candidates, all low probability, but high lethality. Mother Nature can be a B#tch...
Or perhaps just a localized nuclear exchange between Pakistan and India.
