This has no anwser. I will just award the person with the best (not 10 words) story/idea/theory.

Basicaly we are bound to be destroyed, at least earth is. I listed a few ideas i could think off. Maybe you can think of more or branch off of what i said. Its fun to think about completely dying

Killing ourselves (politics, race, religion, money, power)
Asteroid collision not destroying us but putting us in the dark ages
Sun burning out becoming a red giant (5 billion years)
Getting destroyed in andromida milky way collision (2 billion years)
Global warming
Consuming all of earth's resources

This one is not on your list;



Solar Storm,



A solar flare is a violent explosion in the Sun's atmosphere releasing up to a total energy of 6 x 1025 Joules. Solar flares take place in the solar corona and chromosphere, heating plasma to tens of millions of kelvins and accelerating electrons, protons and heavier ions to near the speed of light. They produce electromagnetic radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum at all wavelengths from long-wave radio to the shortest wavelength gamma rays. Most flares occur in active regions around sunspots, where intense magnetic fields emerge from the Sun's surface into the corona. Flares are powered by the sudden (timescales of minutes to tens of minutes) release of magnetic energy stored in the corona.X-rays and UV radiation emitted by solar flares can affect Earth's ionosphere and disrupt long-range radio communications. Direct radio emission at decimetric wavelengths may disturb operation of radars and other devices operating at these frequencies. In a matter of just a few minutes they heat material to many millions of degrees and release as much energy as a billion megatons of TNT.



Solar flares were first observed on the Sun in 1859 as localized brightenings in a sunspot group. Stellar flares have also been observed on a variety of other stars.Here is a link http://www.solarstorms.org/SRefStorms.html , here you will see all recorded solar storms.Scroll down to Feb 11, 1958 and click on article links from that day and see what light solar storm could do to us.The next 11-year solar storm cycle should be significantly stronger than the current one, which may mean big problems for power grids and GPS systems and other satellite-enabled technology.The stronger solar storms could start as early as this year or as late as 2008 and should peak around 2012.They predict the next solar cycle will be 30 to 50 percent stronger than the last cycle.The last cycle peaked in 2001.A new technique enabled the scientists to better predict the severity of the next cycle. The technique, called helioseismology, allows researchers to "see" inside the sun by tracing sound waves reverberating inside the sun—creating a picture of the interior like ultrasound creates a picture of an unborn baby.Solar storms are linked to twisted magnetic fields in the sun that suddenly snap and release tremendous amounts of energy.

Its very Obvious that one or other day in future the whole world will be going to face a massive destruction. According to the mayan calander and the great Prophet Nostrodamus earlier Predicted that the world will be certainely ending on a day 21st december 2012. i dont want anyone to frightened. but the fact is that it is still unidentified whether the comet which was sighted some months ago by the scientist that would able to destroy the earth because the comet will certainely have to come to the same axis of rotation as the earth does. and you have to accept the earth is changing. as earlier it is said that nearing 2012dec 21st day will be the longest day in the calender. because of the precession of the equinoxes it corresponds that the sun will stands exactly at one of the star gate crossing point of elliptic milky way galaxy. but it is the lone cause for the predicted destruction but the serious impact of global warming which results in a melting of ice and again the antartica and greenland are facing the potential threat to their future existence. i dont think human resource and power will dare to challenge the nature and we are living in the edge an the end times. Any way let us hope for the better tomorrow and see owr future beyond 2012

There's no need for concern about things that will happen billions of years from now. Humanity will be long gone before then.



Depletion of resources is already a problem. As that gets worse we'll fight over it more and more and do ourselves in in some way or another.



I say it's time to party now while we have the chance!

C.S. Lewis in his e book 'Mere Christianity' says that the subsequent exchange could be of a distinctive sort. He proposes that it can be a non secular progression that would enable us to word of a sparkling measurement. He replaced into conversing from a christian adventure, yet I see this alteration beginning up in interfaith cooperation, and recognizing that although our words and reasons would nicely be distinctive, we nevertheless have a great 'uncomplicated floor',and uncomplicated principals/morals. each and every faith has some style of the "golden rule" that's: take care of others the way you want to be taken care of. As we study to prepare that the worldwide would be a greater effectual place for anybody.

Reality tv is the biggest threat to the human race. It is already insideously working its way through our collective nervous systems, implanting a drug-like dependency that guarantees its horrific perpetuation. In one more generation it will have completely dominated the Earth, consuming all our resources as we sit, hospitalised in our mobile chairs, equipped with colostomy bags and drip feeds, as the most evil feed of all remorselessly hammers at our eyes, eyes, eyes...

I think ice age is a good one, but that could be an effect of global warming which you already said, so I don't know if you want to count that.

Seems you have most of them, but plague should probably be on the list.

We'll all get so addicted to computer games that we'll forget to eat and starve to death.
