No.
There's not a single computer forecast of the future that has ever got it right. The models didn't accurately forecast the conditions for this year, let alone for ten or a hundred years into the future.
No model ever predicts unforseen changes- but that's what the future always brings.
The 'Moore's law' associated with Solar Energy predicts that by 2050 nobody will generate energy from Carbon.
You should panic only if you assume that the 21st Century won't bring advances in any of Solar Power Space Satellites, Hot Fusion, Cold Fusion, Zero Point Energy, Ocean Thermal Energy, Geothermal energy from Plate Tectonics, or something new that we haven't thought of yet.

Will the human population decrease or will humans cease to be. Most likely the earth has a carry capacity beyond which there will be mass starvation until it returns to the point were there is a enough food for the population. Ultimately over the course of enough time humans would evolve into different animals. In which case we would no longer be homo sepians.

Yes, all the good people are being murdered and the foolish people we vote into political office and fundamentalists want to blow up the world. Why? The fundamentalists believe all women should not be educated. Look at Bin Laden....five wives and 25 children later. He never learned about birth control I guess.
People are stupid. We destroy everything. Environmentalists are smart but we are a dollar short and a day late to fix all the issues.

Yes...the human race will most likely be extinct by the end of the century...all except for the guy living in a fully stocked bomb shelter at an unknown location. That guy will be none other than...me. Goodbye losers!!!

I think so. I mean come on, look at the world. Does it look like things are getting better or worse? Sure our science, medics, and technology is improving but how far is that gonna take us? Human beings will be the cause of the end of human beings and that's that.

The human race is sure on the fast track to try to wipe us all out. However, I think God will take over and prevent that from happening before then.

Would that be a bad thing?
We are the only animal on the planet that murders it own kind and enjoys it and we are the only wasteful animal.
Let the dolphins or ants etc have a try at running the place - they couldn't do much worse than the poor show we've made of things.

Probably not by the end of the century, but our own conflicts and problems will eventually be our downfall

well he's possibly a dumbass. no one know's the day or the hour that the world will end. not even Jesus. the bible clearly states that...if you believe in the bible that is. people have been trying to predict the end of life for years and have been very inaccurate so far.

As we have no natural predators, the only possible methods for our demise would be either natural disaster (such as a caldera volcano or meteor) or man-made.
