Actually these all have some level of reality/danger depending on
when they would occur or the average threat to individuals. If
I were to order them, I would say:
Asbestos > Ozone depletion > Global Warming > Nuclear Winter > Population Explosion > Homeless.
Comments:
Asbestos: Very bad (over time) if exposed
Ozone: Direct effects observed in animals and perhaps humans
Global Warming: Ask someone living in North Carolina...
Nuclear Winter: There are still lots of weapons out there.
Population Explosion: Recently cut back from previous predictions by the UN
Homeless: Not a significant impact on the average person.
What TV doesn't do unfortunately is provide much of a global perspective.
