We'll probably doom ourselves off before that planet killing asteroid hits us, before the consequences of global warming are in full swing, before the super volcanoes erupts and surely before our sun supernovas.
The detonation of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons that now sit quietly, inconspicuously, in missile silos, submarines and long-range bombers, faithful servants awaiting orders would bring the end of the human species.
The World Health Organization concludes that 1.1 billion people would be killed outright in such a nuclear war, mainly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. An additional 1.1 billion people would suffer serious injurles and radiation sickness. This would represent by far the greatest disaster in the history of the human species and, with no other adverse effects, would probably be enough to reduce at least the Northern Hemisphere to a state of prolonged agony and barbarism.
The nuclear winter that Carl Sagan spoke about would eventually spread to the Southern Hemisphere, killing all plant and animal life, and eventually mankind.
Are nukes good, the MAD doctrine kept us out of a nuclear war for 60 years, but now with rogue states and rogue leaders, the fallacy of the MAD doctrine is apparent. The weapons of peace for the last 60 years have now been turned to weapons of war. Once again we are staring into the black abyss of a nuclear holocaust.

The world will never end. At the most the rule of the human kind can be in jeopardy.
The most likely possibility is we, in our own hand destroy ourselves: war (nuclear or something else), ecological disasters, plagues outbreaks due to biological weapons testing or mishandling and so on.
Volcanoes and meteors are not likely.

Sounds fascinating and I hate I missed it. Don't get too wrapped up in "what if" scenarios though. They will make you crazy!!! Trust me, I know. I live in a Post-911 Washington, DC.
My grandmother has a saying (because I am a thinker of this nature and I told her that I am always afraid of riding the subway here because I think that will be the next terrorist attack in this area). And you know what she says when I get that way? She says, "I'm still having fabulous dessert for dinner."
She says that to say, don't worry about what you can not change. Still live your life to the fullest, and enjoy each moment, because you never know when it will be your last.

How about all of them at once. Ever thought of that, it seems that the media launches all these posibilities just about everyday. you actually start getting paranoid if you listen to them.
Since the start of man there have always been rumors of the world ending. We now have the media to intensify our fears! Thus it seems like the end is near!

If I wanted to loose some points, I would ask, why are people so fascinated with global annihilation.
Seems to make for a pretty good draw at the movies too.

yes, I saw it and thougt it was very interesting. However, I do not go around worrying about how the world will end. Life is too short. Breathe deep and just LIVE.
