What and when do you think will wipe out the human race?

Question

I mean assuming there is no massive war, that could do it any time. Only if we keep trashing the planet how long will earth be livable at the current rate? Dinosuars exisited longer than us by far, I assume if we go the rest of the planet will be in pretty bad shape and it looks like we are on the way now. I cannot see how it could be reversed.

Answer 1

A virus

Steralisation

Climate Change

The most likely : Ourselves.

A friend once quoted "It's in human nature to destroy itself"

I also think that humans wont be fully terminated, some people will survive perhaps and evolution will carry on it's natural process as it is supposed to do.

PS: if you get a new drive way sealed, watch how quickly plants grow through it....only a matter of years or even months....nature will take over, nature will flurish when we are not here.

Answer 2

AIDS is really incurable. So it truly is between the ailments that has the flair to wipe us out. it would want to be managed and suppressed, yet not cured or prevented. Being the avid historic past Channel and A&E viewer that i'm, there turned right into a particular on accessible contaminants from outer-area contained in the kind of entering debris that could want to reason severe damage. there changed into really a practise that the Spanish Flu, which changed into the worst international-huge epidemic, may have really been presented like this because of it is speedy spread besides the actual incontrovertible fact that there have been no airplanes or mass transit to flow human beings quickly adequate to describe the epidemics shuttle speed. not extraterrestrial beings, yet basically organic causes from above the ambience. **** Darwin awards are F* dazzling!

Answer 3

I think that the Earth will wipe us out if we do too much damage.

like every living organism, the Earth has defenses. When there is an imbalance, the earth attempts to counter it. So if we keep cutting down the rainforests and poisoning the atmosphere - tilting the planet further and further out of balance, then the Earth's reactions will become more and more pronounced, and eventually it will wipe us out, using global warming, using earthquakes, using tsunamis, using an ice-age.

Maybe then we can start again and hopefully do a bit better next time.

Answer 4

You might like to check out www.vhemt.com. It's a radical site, but it does deal with your question (it's the voluntary human extinction movement). All I know is that by the end of this century, it is estimated that pretty all the large mammals will be gone, and Scientist James Lovelock predicts that many people will have died out by the end of this century, with the remainder of people living in the arctic. BUt it's only predictions. No one can really foresee the future.

Answer 5

The one entity that is most likely to wipe out the human race is the human race itself.

We are quite unimportant in the grand scheme of things. If we go, I'm sure the rest of the planet will get on quite nicely without us.

Answer 6

you'd like to think we'd last forever, or at least dies with a bang; asteroid or supernova from Sirius, or we die from some virus,

but i think we'll have a long and extremely painful death such as global warming, no water, no food, flooding, all electricity and infrastructure knocked out, fires everywhere. Humans will turn against each other, it will be everyone one for themselves.

Answer 7

I have to agree with the majority of other answers here...the human race. We're widespread enough and adaptable enough to survive most natural disasters, but we'll probably end up being our own destruction.

Answer 8

i think the race for technology along with nasa space program will do us in, they keep talking about the ozone layer then destroy it more by shooting shuttle missions through it, along with automated technology that is replacing humans in the work place and making us lazy, global warming, see how the seeasons have changed over the last 10 years,

Answer 9

When the earth becomes super heated for whatever reason the last dying person will draw that last gasping breath.

What year: unkown? Estimation: soon enough...

Answer 10

We are our own worst enemy.

So...we'll wipe ourselves out. Does the method or timing matter?
