Answer:

A global catastrophic risk is a hypothetical future event which could damage human well-being on a global scale,[2] even endangering or destroying modern civilization.[3] An event that could cause human extinction or permanently and drastically curtail humanity's potential is known as an existential risk.[4]

Artist's impression of a major asteroid impact. An asteroid with an impact strength of a billion atomic bombs may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.[1]

Potential global catastrophic risks include anthropogenic risks, caused by humans (technology, governance, climate change), and non-anthropogenic or external risks.[3] Examples of technology risks are hostile artificial intelligence and destructive biotechnology or nanotechnology. Insufficient or malign global governance creates risks in the social and political domain, such as a global war, including nuclear holocaust, bioterrorism using genetically modified organisms, cyberterrorism destroying critical infrastructure like the electrical grid; or the failure to manage a natural pandemic. Problems and risks in the domain of earth system governance include global warming, environmental degradation, including extinction of species, famine as a result of non-equitable resource distribution, human overpopulation, crop failures and non-sustainable agriculture.

Examples of non-anthropogenic risks are an asteroid impact event, a supervolcanic eruption, a lethal gamma-ray burst, a geomagnetic storm destroying electronic equipment, natural long-term climate change, hostile extraterrestrial life, or the predictable Sun transforming into a red giant star engulfing the Earth.

What oath did lincoln claim in his inaugural address?
Charra [1.4K]

The answer is: Lincoln claimed to defend the Union and attempted to convince the South that the secession was illegal and impossible.

Lincoln gained massive popularity on the northern states because he advocated for the establishment of slavery, and the south was threatening secession because they relied heavily on slavery as the major workforce that sustain their economy.

Lincoln realized that if the southern states manage to secede from united states, The republican party would receive the largest amount of blame for the separation, and their chance to free the slaves in southern states were gone. Because of this, he swore an oath to defend the union and prevent the south from seceding in his inaugural address.
