Doomsday: Countdown to Catastrophe

This gripping series dives into the catastrophic events that could end life on Earth long before the sun consumes the planet in 2.5 billion years. From asteroid impacts and volcanic eruptions to pandemics and nuclear apocalypses, each episode tackles a specific global threat, showcasing the potential devastation and the scientific efforts to prevent these disasters.

What if these catastrophes struck today? Can we ever achieve full nuclear disarmament, or will we forever live under the shadow of potential nuclear war? Do we have the technology to deflect a planet-killer asteroid like the one that wiped out the dinosaurs? Given our vulnerability to viruses like Covid-19, can we outsmart future pandemics? How ready are we for the devastating effects of a massive solar flare on our tech-dependent society? Could a supervolcano eruption alter the global climate for centuries? Is it too late to reverse the self-inflicted crisis of climate change, or do we still have a chance?
