(1) 1 during this century the quantity of greenhouse gases will probably double and the average global temperature will rise by at least 2ºc. that's a bigger increase than any in the last 1.5 million year. this could completely alter the climate in many regions and lead to disasters such as world food shortages, mass migration, wars for water and other resources. probability: high (2) 2 in the last century we have had four major flu epidemics as well as hiv and sars. there will certainly be another one in the near future. a virus probably won't wipe out the whole human race. however, in 1918 influenza killed twenty million. a similar epidemic could be even worse today. probability: very high (3) 3 it hasn't happened yet, but one day it is almost certain that a terrorist group will get the necessary materials and technology to use weapons of mass destruction. a nuclear, chemical or biological terrorist attack will almost certainly happen in the next thirty years. probability: very high (4) 4 over a long period, the risk of dying as a result of meteor hitting the earth is about the same as the risk of dying in a plane crash. a huge meteor hits the earth about once every million years. it will happen again, and when it happens, an enormous cloud of dust will rise into the atmosphere. this will block out sunlight and kill plants. however, the most adaptable species (cockroaches and humans, for example) will probably survive. probability: medium (5) 5 by 2050 robots will probably be able to think like humans. they will look after us at home like mechanical servants. but they will also carry out more complex tasks. for example, they will be able to work as doctors or teachers. some people think that the fantasies of science-fiction films will come true. humans won't become extinct, but we will join together with advanced robots and make a new species that will live for ever. probability: high (6) 6 approximately every 50,000 years a super-volcano erupts 10. the consequences are terrible and can last for years. it covers the land with ash, and a huge cloud of sulphuric acid circles the earth. daytime is like a moonlit night. ice forms in the tropics. a super-volcano is twelve times more likely than a large meteorite impact. probability: very high__5__
