RANKED CHOICE POLL! On This Earth Day, Please Rank the Threats to Life on the Planet From Scariest to Least Scariest
It’s totally fine and probably more useful for Earth Day to be a celebration of our shared future here on this wet hunk of rock in space.
But for whatever reason, we’re not in that mood right now. So let’s rank the existential threats to the planet, from most plausible to least. That way, maybe we can make some progress on the issue in time for next Earth Day.
Drag and drop these existential threats into the proper order, then hit submit.
