How To Survive The End Of The World - 2013 - 6/10
AKA - Evacuate Earth
Multi-episode documentary mixes science with speculation.
What if … the planet were struck with a global pandemic (this aired 2013).
Or flood waters covered the earth, or the orbit shifted, moving us away from the sun.
Or weather turns wilder, deadlier.
Experts describe scenarios and possible solutions.
The add-on episode, encounter with a neutron star, lives up to the alternate “Evacuate Earth” title.
It was also wise enough to pinpoint those who, during rescue, would push themselves to the front of the line.
The wealthy, who may lack necessary skill-sets. And politicians, who excel at provoking conflict.
Curiously, what is not delineated is irreversible, runaway global warming. Oh, the irony.
