Over the next century, humanity could flourish or it could experience a global catatastrophe. It could even go extinct.

This tree is built from the prediction platform Metaculus's Ragnarok series. It is updated every night (last: Fri Jan 19 2024). It tracks predictions concerning global catastrophes and (near-)extinction events.
