Because gamma radiation travels at the speed of light towns all over the globe would have no warning that a cosmic disaster was about to unfold. If a gamma ray burst bursts, i'd be the brightest thing in the night sky, instead of one sun in the sky you'd see two suns, and you'll know something bad is about to happen.

Now although the closest star to the earth that could explode is only 8000 light-years away, even at that distance a burst headed towards earth could be catastrophic, taking out the o-zone layers and leaving us defenseless.

Temperatures would rise, anything with eyes would be blinded, everything would stunt at a molecular level. All life on earth would die, and only bacteria would survive.
