Other Things to Worry About?

There are people (happy souls?) who are paid to assess the risks to the survival of our species (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/apr/26/what-if-covid-19-isnt-our-biggest-threat). The question was posed 'What if Covid-19 isn't our biggest threat?' One such risk specialist noted that, as a species, we are pretty poor at responding to challenges to our species survival, except when we can see it happening (we are excellent at putting off doing anything positive, prior to that point). So, perhaps Covid-19 has come at a pretty good time in reminding us, without being too lethal for the species, of the dangers of pandemics in our highly-interconnected world? Sadly, the expert appears to believe that nuclear war and global warming are bigger threats to our species survival. So, what are the odds on our species surviving the next 100 years? He reckons we have a 1 in 6 chance of following the Dodo (i.e. the same odds as Russian roulette).
