Come on people this is science. Global warming might put an end to us humans among a whole bunch of other life but it will most DEFINITELY NOT end the earth It has survive (life included)worse things than global warming which by the way is a common occurrence in the climate history of the earth. Other things like super volcano eruptions super earthquakes and such are a real danger for humanity not life. Life has proven so far that it can survive all that because it has actually done so many times over the 4.5 billion years of its history. There are various scenarios for the destruction of the planet. I will put some indicative ones in chronological order:
Major asteroid/meteor strike. Something really big and massive that could knock us out of orbit. There is no way we can do anything about it with out an advance warning of at least 200 hundred years. Time; unpredictable including next six months.
A bit more long term. We are loosing our Moon. True very slowly but it's moving away from us. Without our moon we are doomed.
Our orbit and axis wobble will become erratic. The result is an extremely unstable climate which in all probability will result in the extinction of all life. Time; a few million years from now
Any super nova explosion within 6-8 light years from us will fry us to a cinder.
Then there is the ultimate one n around 5 billion years from now and that is the demise of our star. Burnt out after eating its children and condemned to be a neutron star dark and tiny.

Well so Far, Global Warming is all fake. Sure the tempature rose a degree or more, but thats because we have gotten closer to the sun. The Earths orbit is not perfect. Another thing, The sun is a special star, and will not blow up, It will just go out like a candle. What happenes is it burns the helium and then it turns it into Hydrogen. after it burns the hyrogen, it goes out and becomes a lumpsof black mass. Another way the earth might end is the year 2012, soposedly the Myans predicted the earth will rain fire, like the earth rained wattter and Noah created the Ark. So by the time the sun has burned out, were prolly on another Planet, living it up there. Heh let the ylons get us, We fight and fight Hard! =D
Anyway, This is my opinion, and have reasons why I think GW is all fake..

we may be able to no longer assume the earth end wisely yet there are some danger the scientist have anticipated 4 Billion year the daylight will finally burn its gasoline and develop right into a important pink ball it turns into so warm that each and each body the residing issues will extinct in earth if this isn't sufficient the Andromeda galaxy will collide with milky way galaxy there are quite some asteroids and comets which could smash earth at any time yet people had destroyed about 0.5 of the earth by their pollutants

Not at all.
The sun is expanding every day, every year, every millenia. It is predicted that in another billion years or so (I dont know the exact chronology, neither do the scientists), the sun will be 8 to 10 times bigger than what it is now and will be gobbling down the solar system.
On that day, the solar system would be only solar (sun) without the system of 9 (rather 8) planets and meteorites around).

killing machines? I think you watch too much TV. Definately Global Warming.

Someone is gonna launch nuclear bombs at the same time and we will go into a nuclear winter or in a few million years, the sun is gonna expand and engulf us assuming that we havent left earth by then

The Earth will end when the sun expands into a red giant. The expanding sun would destroy Earth.

global warming is not all humans fault.
But the sun will eventually blow up and take the earth with it... Given we haven't destroyed ourselves by then... : )

Exterminating humanity is very easy, however, ending the earth however will prove much harder, see:

For the gathered methods of someone who has devoted some time to the subject.

Spontanious Combustion, either of earth or the sun.
