Algae blooms present a problem for our continued existence, many scientists believe that this is what caused a, or the mass exinction event in the time of the dinosaurs. With the increased rad levels that we are experiencing these days I can actually see the possibility of a third of the earths water turning to blood, as told in the bible.

Elaborate.

I think it would be pretty easy to prove that irradiating water doesn't turn it into blood.

No offense to Stoic, but it's utter B.S.
There'd be such large amounts of algae discovered in period related sediments that it would be something that could be proven fairly easily.
For instance, there appears to be a layer related to the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event (commonly called the K-T Event), in some places, that can be correlated to what they believe was that major meteorite event. (For those not familiar with what I'm referring, the meteorite responsible for the mass extinction event associated with the dinosaurs.) This sediment layer is known as the K-T Boundry.
Back to the algae:
It would be VERY easy to detect a massive growth in algae and even derive the species responsible for a mass growth in algae. On top of that, we would also find atmospheric residue from atmospheric compositional changes. (More 02 in the air and things similar.) We could also find climate differences in the climes affected by the growth outburst.
That's probably just a few of the changes that we could detect with modern geological techniques.
This is how you can tell when an extinction hypothesis smells of B.S.
And, I highly doubt "many scientists" believe that algae caused mass extinction for the K-T event. 😐 It's probably one or two quacks.

You're being too nice here.
If this topic is in relation to the end of life on Earth, if not from some sort of natural or cosmic disaster, the Earth will stop being able to sustain life once vulcanism stops in 2-3 billion years. In terms of when the Earth will stop existing as a planet... no one knows.
Even when the sun burns out, it'll swallow Mercury and Venus, but the gravitational shift from those two planets no longer being there will just push Earth's orbit to just past the red giant sun's corona. Earth will still exist as a lifeless body long after the sun collapses into a white dwarf. The earth will end after slowly being pulverized and worn down by interstellar collisions. Everyone I've talked to says that the collision between the milky way and andromeda will have little if any effect on the planet in any case.
The kidney stone that is our universe will finally pass through Dique Grauber's urethra, and upon being exposed to his world's atmosphere, collapsing in on itself in such a destructive fashion, with an explosion equal to a weak fart in this greater universe where Dique resides, that we will cease to exist, and no one will give a shit. Especially Dique.

Listen, many prophetic tales that were written of in the Bible were written in a time that made it impossible for those that foresaw the end of man to clearly describe what they saw in dreams and visions.
Algae blooms as we know them are responsible for creating large amounts of sodium sulfide in our oceans, which was said to smell like rotting eggs. Scientists have also noted that life cannot exist in this contaminated water. It has also turned the oceans water blood red. Do you see the correlation? More sunlight (global warming) more algae.
The problem lies with us we will be the end of the world due to our love of money, and unwillingness to change.
