As bad as a lot of this sucks, we can create hope for humanity.

I read somewhere that the average species last 60k years before evolving into something else, or going extinct. What will humans turn into? Aspies? Aspies might be the first spacers. Maybe they will avoid the destruction.

Here's a neat site showing the various scenarios humanity could become extinct http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm
So many scenario's to read,so little time!

I think insects will take over the earth if we have a nuclear war and humanity is wiped out. I read scorpians and cockroaches are very resistant to radiation poisoning. Maybe the scorpians will prey on the cockroaches and the will both grow to gigantic porportions!

Knowing my luck, humanity would either be ended by:

~ Nuclear Warfare.

~ Global Warming.

~ Oil Deprivation (Mad Max Style) :wink:

~ Massive Meteor, That Crosses Into Our Orbit. :)

I give humanity 100 years, maybe 1000 years tops.

I give it 50 years, at that time, the planet is gonna be too hot by global warming.
Then the sea will get too hot and all the fish will die out, all the drinking water will be gone in Africa and south America.
There will be a riot, then comes Worl War 3.
The war will last for another 50 years.
7 Billion people will die by nuclear hit`s and the rest by hunger and disease.
The only thing that will survive is the cockroaches and the RolingStones.

Then a comet or astriode will hit the planet, and some organsims will grow, and there starts the evolution again.

Exactly. The dinosaurs lasted for 100 million years, and we've been around for barely a fraction of that time. And in that fraction, we've managed to mess the planet up to a spectacular degree.

We suck.

Who knows? It's hard to say but right now it's looking pretty grim.

About the sun, it's true that in approximately 5 billion years it will expand engulf the Earth as a Red Giant, but it will only take .5 billion years for the planet to be too hot to sustain life as we know it.

I think there will be a massive change in less than 50 years. I dont think it will be over oil, although that will run out but other things will replace it. It will be about water. Id say the population will decrease by billions and things will go back to how they were hundreds of years ago. Back to manual labour with animals used inseads of machines. It might take thousands of years after that revolution to get back to where we are now and can even consider space travel again.

I love thinking about stuff like this :D

Only 5 billion years? :)

We'll be all long gone by then. :wink:

I read that it's been predicted that the world will end in 2971.
Anyways humanity can't have any longer than a few hundred years left, judjing from the way we're going now. We will most likely kill off all the other species of animals, then all the plants and then eventually ourselves, and the planet earth will be an uninhabitable ball of muck, all thanks to us.

Exactly. I can't see humans stopping breeding for the sake of any other animal or anybody else. Theres going to be no wilderness left for aimals to inhabit soon. If insects such as the bee's were to be wiped out then the trees and plants couldn't pollinate, so there would be no food or way to get rid of the carbon dioxide.
