Pretty much none of these are based in any sort of evidence though. This time we have concrete evidence that our environment is in a runaway loop past the point of repair. We have guaranteed proof that we have already destroyed our planet’s biosphere. The melting ice caps by themselves are already a self-sustaining heat loop even without additional help.
This is not “I declare that Jesus will return in 184 months and then the rapture will happen” like pretty much every other prediction of apocalypse. This is not “the Mayan calendar runs out this year so the world is going to end”. This is not “the Bible said we’re going to have Revelations this year”. This is known fact.
I like to pull this list up whenever someone starts talking about how the signs are clear that the end is near: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events
