What will kill the human race?

Question

Will it be Global warming, Asteroid, Volcanic activity (super Volcano), Extra-Terrestrials or something else?

My money is on the ruination of our planet over time and the use of all its resources. We will end up with a barren lifeless planet.

Answer 1

mans greed will do for us all. all we do is consume, and destroy our environment. we choke teh atmosphere, and poison the seas...and we put nuclear waste into the ground... and eat supersaturated fats in burgers which will kill us..as a staple part of our dietary requirements..

we dont exercise, our minds or our bodies... cholesterol will kill more people than car accidents within a few years...and obesity...its heart attack time.. and soon teh requirements of the NHS to keep these people alive, will outweigh spending on education and the armed forces.

and teh rich will become isolated in their ivory towers as sanitation breaks down in the inner cities and typhoid and cholera stop off on their world tour... or some madman releases lhassa fever, or dengue plague...

well, its either that or they build the bypass, and the vorgons obliterate us.. as they read poetry

Answer 2

Simple, we will kill ourselves. There will never be a barren lifeless planet, mainly due to the tanacity of nature itself. To quote Jurassic Park, life will find a way. There are very few ways that I can see all life on the planet ceasing to exist and they are all caused by human beings. Good news though, humans are too remarkably lazy and inefficient to enact any of these world destroying plans. Even if we all launched nuclear warheads at the same exact time, scoured the surface clean of life, and boiled away the oceans, there would still exist the tiniest organisms in the farthest reaches of the planet. Life would begin again. Personally though, I don't see the human race as ever going extinct; some few would live, adapt, and prosper, no matter what we did to the planet. Or we will simply find a way off the planet itself, and maybe, just maybe, we will leave our suicidal behaviors behind us when we go.

Answer 3

I dont think the human race will die, as long as it can survive long enough to start creating self sustained communities on other planets, once humans are inhabiting space and various planets, the odds of total eradication become very small

Before than the only thing that could wipeout humans is a global catastrophe, i.e a super volcanoe rupturing and blocking out the sunlight, triggering an iceage, but even then people could ride it out underground in self sustained bunkers, energy from wind or water could be used to power lights in order to grow food - wether they would survive long enough would be another matter!

With disease, some people may have a nautral immunity due to a genetic mutation, these people would then re-populate the earth elininating the disease (natural selection), i dont any disease could kill everyone.

War will not wipe us out, as there will always be one man at least left standing on the battle field! though the effects of the war could posion the earth resulting in starvation etc...

Maybe oneday there will be another big bang, that would certainly kill us! If the sun grows bigger we will all die (unless we fly off into space), or a large black hole could swallow the solar system!

Scientists could create nanobots that would spread like locusts devouring everything

Maybe we will create a race of smart robots that will turn on us

Maybe we will build a bonb so big that it wipeouts out

Worst thing is when it happens, we may not even see it coming, and ill never know if am right or not!

Answer 4

The Human Race

Answer 5

'Who will end up killing the humane race?'
The violence and madness of people today is scary to most of us. How people can do what they do to each other is beyond any sense or reason. I personally think that if we don't end up killing each other we will end up killing ourselves. We will use up all the resources earth has to offer and kill not only us but the earth as well. Global warming is a factor, the ice caps melting, the increasing heat!! But I think that they are all just the penny's in the jar. Either way, whether it is the heat, the cold, the limited resources or human madness, the only thing to that will kill humans......is ourselves.

Answer 6

I think it will be disease. People are getting a lot sicker these days! The air alone is enought to kill us in some places. Maybe that's a side effect of the global warming but I feel like there's more reports of rampant bacteria and strange diseases coming from weird strains killing people. I think I'd prefer an asteroid or something. At least you don't have to suffer.

Answer 7

Humans

Answer 8

I hear you. I actual have a minimum of a pair of those moments a week, on standard. And recently, yeah, this is been a daily difficulty. on an identical time as a number of this is basically human nature for you, the actuality of this is, the twenty first century relatively does seem ruined. front to lower back, with human beings _just user-friendly refusing_ to sparkling up one mess or fix one difficulty. Sidebar: No, i'm no longer stalking our friendly community CRYING Potato. Sorry. we are basically interior the comparable crummy temper recently, i assume. Sidebar 2: And as one in each of those "wounded" types? *lol* i could basically humbly submit that we could all be extra effective off if shall we basically get OFF of this internet a minimum of sooner or later each week and be there for the different. on condition that whilst did user-friendly kindness and open friendship substitute into such "issues"?

Answer 9

Human

Answer 10

If all else fails eg comet, disease, asteroid etc, it is a well known fact that the sun will eventually start to expand in a few billion years from now and consume the earth and everthing all around, first it will get warmer on earth, then the oceans will boil away, the earth will one day get too hot to sustain life. Then it will eventually melt.

Answer 11

The human race will be the end of the human race--either through war, disease, or just poisoning the planet to the point we can no longer live here. People who want to "save the Earth" really want to save human beings. The Earth will be just fine without us, as it was just fine before us. New species will develop, just as humans developed after the dinosaurs were gone.
