His prediction for the end of the world might be closer than you think… 😳👇

One of Hawking’s major concerns was climate change. He warned that if global warming continues unchecked, Earth could become increasingly hostile to human life. Rising temperatures, extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels all pose significant challenges for ecosystems and human societies.

Hawking sometimes referenced the example of Venus, a planet believed to have once had conditions somewhat similar to Earth but which experienced a runaway greenhouse effect. Today, Venus has extremely high surface temperatures and a thick atmosphere filled with carbon dioxide. While Earth is not on the same path, Hawking warned that ignoring climate change could push the planet toward dangerous and irreversible environmental changes.
