The Earth greatest threats is Deforestation. The wild forests are being destroyed, especially in the tropics, often to make way for cattle ranching, soybean or palm oil plantations, or other agricultural monocultures.
Today, about 30 percent of the planet's land area is covered by forests - which is about half as much as before agriculture got started around 11,000 years ago. About 7.3 million hectares (18 million acres) of forest are destroyed each year, mostly in the tropics.

Apart from natural disasters (some of which are partially man-triggered) I think the biggest danger is greed.
It drives out worse of the humanity, and causes so many issues and problems...

How do natural disasters became Earth's greatest threat when we, humans make those natural disasters more dangerous and more stronger. We cut trees, we create pollution from air to noise, yes you have a point that greed is a bigger danger but the biggest of them all are us, Humans. We are the threats of our planet, and we also know that we are the only one who can save it,
Exactly, and saving this beautiful planetary home would require some serious awakening of the consciousness, and assuming the responsibility for our actions and inactions. I strongly believe that there is, in fact, a small step every one of us can take literally every day (and in some cases many times a day) to reduce our negative impact. Because otherwise we are just moving towards the collective suicide, often without even realizing that!

May I add: CORPORATE greed of most transnational Inc's... They are the worst, and they throw money to legislate their way around the world.

I think the earth greatest threat is earthquake, this has caused memorial damages that worth Billon's of dollars in different part of the word. Japan has experience most recorded earth quake in the world. The largest quake ever recorded was near Valdivia, in southern Chile on May 22, 1960. It was measured at a magnitude of 9.5, lasted for 10 minutes and triggered a tsunami. Estimates of the number killed by the natural disaster in Chile vary between 1,000 and 6,000.

A National Geographic article accurately describes the state of our planet through outlining the major issues present every Earth Day since 1970. Environmental issues began with pesticides causing death in bald eagles and soot darkening our atmosphere. This year, it’s not just the awareness of plastic use imperiling the earth that is brought up. Today’s worsening environmental issues are apparently, a culmination of all the groundwork humanity has laid over the past two hundred years.
Habitat loss and climate change are the most pressing issues we are facing today, and one can’t help but fear the seemingly inevitable destruction of our planet.
I believe we have every right to question humanity’s emotional connection to the natural world.

Climate change is most importantly an issue since individuals can't concur on regardless of whether it's an issue in any case. Before we even get into the arrangements, we as a whole (paying little mind to political gathering) need to go to the acknowledgment that yes, environmental change is genuine and yes, it is influencing us in ways that we can see and feel. On the off chance that despite everything you trust that the abnormal climate and warmth waves we've been encountering have nothing to do with environmental change, you should need to ask your neighbor what he or she supposes in light of the fact that the greater part of Americans say they accept an Earth-wide temperature boost is causing these occurrences.
humans are the greatest Threats on the planet earth. We can do anything and that's why we caused a lot of these problems. we are the reason that the balance between the natural stuffs got disturbed. we have cause destructive problems such as deforestation or making the pollutants in the factories. The only good thing about us is that we can think and we can probably save earth one day. Or if we failed then we will chose the nearest habitable planet and pollute them too.
the greatest threat on earth is the destruction of nature, thus affecting the destruction of the ecosystem. if nature and ecosystem is damaged then the stability of the earth is already threatened. for that we need to preserve nature and protect rare animals that is one way to protect this earth
true when people are greedy and mengotlotasi large-scale tehadap ecosystems on earth, many people are not aware of ecosystems that need to be treated together, there needs to be a firm action against the environment so that the threat of this ecosystem can be neutralized from an early age,
Sure there are many threats. That's why we have to keep progressing technologically so we can counter them (like the astroids etc). As mentioned before one of the biggest is humans themselves. We should all be obligated to do a 10 day vipassana retreat to figure out what really is important. I think that would make some real changes.
one of the most scariest creatures here in the planet are humans. since humans can do anything they want, aside from they are at the top of the food chain and has higher intellect than other living organisms. this has also been the most controversial issue, because a persons mindset is much scarier than anything else in this world, and it is also been the one who destroys the ecosystem.
I believe that the Earth's greatest threat is no other than human beings. What abusive acts people are doing, their greediness, and selfishness is what makes the Earrh threatened. Yes, change is inevitable and is necessary for progress and development. However, it is our sacred duties and responsibility, as an higher order creatures, to take good care of the Earth and make sure that the change happening is good and is beneficial to our planet. People nowadays are onky thinking for themselves and what os good for them not knowing that they are gradually destroying their own hone and the next generation's future. People whom supposedly in-charge in preserving and conserving the Earth's resources, are the ones who destroys it.
as human beings who are granted the mind by God, then we should be able to think about our survival, about the prevention of pollution and the destruction of nature, the more days the more people who do not care and make the destruction of nature, such as factory smoke, industrial waste, and so that it certainly makes the nature farther away from the word safe and increasingly the day the danger, otherwise we are guarding it does not feel sorry for our future generation ??
Well, I want to focus on the environmental issues. Nowadays, our planet has been going on to the hottest and the coldest weather so far. The nature has been sending signs to us that the Earth might collapsed one day and people is affecting little by little. I wish to address this issue more. And since the creator bestowed us the right to live in this planet, I hope for more organizations and more people to do something so that we can prevent the nature's destruction.

Earth's greatest threat over the years has been humans . We are the the only creatures who are able to think in rational ways. Rational in ways ti be able to the good from bad, to identify endeavors that are harmful. The world is faced with global warning,a situation that should capture and maintain the attention of the world at large, what we humans find relevant is accumulation of wealth and the battle for power and supremacy rendering the earth increasingly uninhabitable.Social media is a topic that is trending with few or no one discussing THE WORLD'S LAST MALE WHITE RHINO
GOD HELP US.
GOD HELP US.
Human beings have brought a lot of pollution to the earth. Especially after the Industrial Revolution, human beings depended on the power of science and technology to create a lot of water pollution, air pollution, in ancient times not so much pollution.
It is my hope that when we can finally utilize the energy from the sun to very high efficiency, we will put an end to a lot of pollution that ravages the earth. We shouldn't put wealth above the future generations because we will be gone someday and they will suffer for our mistakes.
The greatest threats to Earth are the political agendas being imposed and being used to brainwash peoples minds. It creates social chaos, instability and make people affect the planet negatively.
About the main statement on this thread it's better to be careful. Blindly believing that pesticides, agrotoxins are evil and shouldn't be used is questionable. They play a big role in producing enough food for everyone on the Earth and without them we couldn't have enough food for all.
