What would happen to the world if humans are gone? - A glimpse of future

in #fiction6 years ago (edited)

What would happen to the world if humans are gone? You might be asking where would humans go? Well, someday we’ll be gone once we’re dead.

With this modern world, technology and businesses are everywhere. One good example is restaurant business, and chicken is one of the very in-demand on their menus. Huge poultry farms provide supplies in many restaurants. But, have you ever wondered how do they manage the poultry wastes? Well, poultry wastes such as chicken manures are being used as fertilizer in agriculture. But what if, just what if one out of ten poultry farms disposed their poultry wastes on lakes? How do you think it will affect humans and the whole world?

Poultry wastes into a non-flowing water such as lakes would later create bacteria that would rapidly grow and contaminate the area. Bacterias would be eaten by fishes that will soon be served and be consumed by humans. Humans who consumed the contaminated fishes will later get sick and will spread viruses to the nearby towns. Animals that drink water from the lakes would catch bacterias and it would start killing their bodies. As the virus started to invade the human’s body, it would start eating their flesh and other parts of the body until nothing is left for them to survive. Scientists might be able to discover the cure but won’t be enough to cater all sick people around the globe. The virus would continue to spread until everyone are already on their near deaths.

In few hours after all humans are gone, all lights around the world will start shutting off because power plants will run out of fuel. While solar panels will eventually get covered with dust and the only power plant that might remain running is the hydroelectric stations. A few days later, most underground train system would flood because the pumps that keep the water out will stop working. As well as the remaining animals will die of starvation. Months later, and the cooling power in nuclear power stations would have evaporated and would lead to series of strong disasters around the world. And a year later, satellites from the earth start to fall from their orbits creating strange shooting star in the sky.

In few more years, vegetation will cover the world and some cities buried in the sand. All metal towers, bridges, and buildings will start to break apart because of corrosion and what might only be left as evidence of our existence are the things made of stones like the great wall of China and the pyramid of Egypt. However, if the global warming continues, iceberg from the different part of the world would start melting. Seawater level would rapidly increase and would cover the land until it totally vanished.

Please note that everything that I said in this post is only products of my imagination of how the future would look like after a decade without humans on earth and doesn’t have any scientific basis. Thank you for taking time to read and I hope you enjoy

Fiction or not, it is definitely not wrong to point out that Earth would be vastly different if humans were not here to "keep it running".

I, however, doubt:

However, as the global warming continues, iceberg from the different part of the world would start melting. Seawater level would rapidly increase and would cover the land until it totally vanished.

As, with the vanishing of all humans, all anthropogenic climate change would therefore cease. (If there will be non-anthropogenic climate change in this direction as well, then you might be right.)

The Earth might then just be subject to "natural" changes and nothing what we humans unintentionally advanced as nature is well enough in recovering when left undisturbed.

Hi @serylt, I agree with you. The nature might be able to recover on their own and adopt well from any changes of the environment. Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate it.

Thanx for this post.
there is no need to imagine of how the world will be without people, the fact is that people will be on this earth as clearly stated in the bible. We all know that a new earth and Heaven shall be created and this where only those who are redeemed shall live with our Lord Jesus Christ when he comes to establish his kingdom on Earth, with the capital at Jerusalem and am very confident about this because all prophecies come to pass.
You will see yourself on a new earth and u will not remember the old earth.

Amen! I totally agree.

So peaceful I bet 😂
