My primary concern is the Methane Clathrate Gun Hypothesis.

I think it's unlikely that it will happen, but in short, there is a very real and non-zero chance that a series of massive explosions will trigger globally that may possibly turn Earth instantaneously (at least on the scale of a human life time) into Venus. Billions and billions of tons of methane releases from accelerating global warming that could render life on Earth itself extinct.

If I didn't think that that global socialism is a guarantee in my life time, I would have offed myself by now.

My mindset is diamond-willpower forged in the core of a neutron star.
