What will be the end of humanity?

[aneeshm]

Decadence combined with stupidity.

 

[Cutlass]

in 1-3 billion years the sun will boil away all the water on earth and eventually consume the solar system.

 

[Fadan80]

Life spectative will be less and less every generation; until we get no more than 10 years and die because we will be unable to procreate

 

[holiday_hawk]

Although we may have nuclear warfare, destroy our environment and other things I think we will be around in till the sun is no longer here.

You forget that the age where you can give birth is also decreasing. At the time of which you're speaking , we can have babies at the age of 4.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

wha??? But men can't...you know...until c. 12! So shouldn't it be 12?

 

[JohnRM]

At our current pace, we'll end ourselves through environmental means in a rather short period of time compared to the other options.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Yes. If we don't stop destroying our environment, crops won't grow anymore and we'll all strave.

 

[Ansar]

Pandemic.


"Look! i infected everyone in Canada!"

Madagascar will always live on

 

[shadowplay]

Where's the rapture option?

 

[Masquerouge]

Other: we make successors who aren't human.

Yup yup. I'm with Erik.

 

[C~G]

Decadence combined with stupidity.

We're doomed.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

The death of our sun. We only have five billion years left!

Don't worry about it.
In about 2 billion years the Mily Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide and it won't matter much what happens to our sun three billion years later.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Don't worry about it.
In about 2 billion years the Mily Way and Andromeda galaxies will collide and it won't matter much what happens to our sun three billion years later.

AFAIK, this "collision" will happen on the level of two blunderbusses firing piles of debris at one another at long range - the clouds will intersect, but the component stars are expected to have very very few collisions. (Six, IIRC.)

It is written that in the final days of humanity Boy Scouts of America will celebrate with a large gay orgy. One the second last day, Boy Scouts will also become atheists in large numbers as a sign of the coming apocalyspe. As consequence, the democratic order in society will crumble and anarchy will prevail. Without Boy Scouts believing in God, it was clear that no one could respect a higher authority. Im sorry to bring such terrible news to you all.

 

[Slaughter]

War. There's no other animal in the planet that has so much hate for it's own members. When your kind lives in constant war, they will die from it someday.

 

[Newbunkle]

Giant ants.

You'd be surprised how many thousands of years we have. Global warming isn't permanent.

Our most likely killer would be alien invasion or asteroid.

 

[Gigaz]

A supernova within 200 ly would almost definitely kill every human being. Unless enough people find a place to hide under earth for several weeks before the exploding star rises over the horizon...

Why isn't the option "The LHC will create a black hole that swallows the earth" in the poll anyway?

 

[Kozmos]

Improper use of critical technologies.
