Or is it impossible right now to account for all the variables?

Well, if the world ends today, then there is no chance it will end tomorrow.

Impossible to account for all the variables.

But I'd say less than 50%.

If the probability is constant over time, then since it has not ended in the last 3 billion years, I would approximate the probability at "no more than 1 in 3 billion".

There are too many variables to get a correct answer.
The world can end in many ways:
Alien invasion
Meteor
Nuclear bombs
earthquakes
volcanoes
pollution
little freaky retards drilling to the centre of the planet and eating the iron coe.

Hazel's is a good one :)

I'd say its very low, much less than 50%. The probability estimate taking into account natural causes is much more trustworthy than the ones taking into account humans. Humans have nukes and thats probably the greatest man-made threat.

The probability of the world ending due to nukes is still pretty high, i'd say; eventhough its very unlikely to happen tomorrow itself. (The major threat factors usually boil down to stupid religious and national differences)

More possibilities than could be counted. But I'd have to say

LESS THAN 50%

When you die your world is going to end. That maybe tomorrow or many years from now. Hard to say but there is a 100% chance that your world will end....just a matter of time.

Far less than 50%

less than 50%, but it is almost impossible because it depends on emotion, whether you wanna start a nuclear war or not,start a genocide, so it is mostly undeterminable.
