It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolpse.

Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.

Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.

Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

The arrogance of science : we already have scientists making crops that will not seed (reproduce from itself) so you have to buy new seed every year. Also GMO foods that will mutate, or diseases that feed on our GMO crops will mutate and destroy all our food sources. Scientists will develop immunisations for common diseases and we will all be innoculated and our offspring will be inadvertantly susceptible to simple bacterias that we could fight off etc etc. Scientists playing God will be the cause.

Did you know when they exploded the first atomic bomb they did not know for sure what would happen ? They had their theories, which were just theories, and they turned out to be correct, but at what risk. Some believed that the breaking of the force that held together the atom would set of a chain reaction that would be unstoppable, breaking the bond in all atoms. Yet they went ahead with the experiment.
Believe me, the arrogance of Science will end us all.

Everyone has a fine answer, regarding humankind, so much as we are worth, but only sleakit and jack appear to accept the actual end of the world.

Eventually the sun will exhaust its hydrogen supply and turn into a Red Giant. That pretty much spells the end of the Earth.
