What's your apocalypse?

[J T]

If you are to place a bet on how humanity is most likely to end itself within our lifetimes, how do you think it will go down?

Will an overzealous warlord finally launch the first global nuclear war, culminating in a race to drop bombs before being bombed and leaving the world too devastated and radioactive to remain livable?

Will our exponentially growing population finally cross the line and consume so many resources that we no longer have a livable environment, leaving us all to die of starvation (if Mad Max bike gangs don't kill us first)?

Will corporate entities that push for deregulation of environmental impacts continue to spread myths that global warming isn't real and manage to stave off attempts at curbing climate change for so long that it becomes too late for humanity to take further action and we all consequently burn in unbearable heats, dehydrate in droughts, or drown as melted polar ice caps flood the continents?

Will the second coming of Christ actually happen, leaving the Mormons in charge of everything, only to screw it all up?

Will microscopic swarms of intelligent nanomachines malfunction and over-zealously convert our organic molecular material into grey goo?

Will a vaccination cure for the zombifying T-virus created by the evil Umbrella corporation finally be found, only to not really matter because anti-vaccination advocates manage to break down humanities defenses enough that we die from outbreaks anyway?

Will the wealthy 1% decide that the cyborg advancements of the coming technological singularity should be theirs alone, allowing themselves to exponentially advance in A.I. superiority and enslave the rest of humanity to create the medical advancements that will allow these 1% to achieve immortality, but then an ensuing battle over who is allowed to be immortal will finish off the final remnants of humanity?


How are we going to go?

Global warming caused by over population

[Forlorn Drifter]

General social breakdown and non-nuclear war ravaging the world, with diseases running rampant due to what is left of the government focusing on war rather than the disease. Eventually total chaos will overcome, and everything will go Mad Max.

Hordes of aliens that had been sleeping at the oceans depths will rise up and begin conducting terror missions against the world's ports, cargo ships, and beach resorts.

The vaccine issue has been blown out of proportion. Existing strains aren't likely to wipe out millions of people even if a pandemic takes place, but a new virus like ebola with no immediate cure can wreak havoc. Still far from being apocalyptic though.

[Ack]

Nuclear war. Afterward my psychic dog and I will wander the wasteland in a purpetual journey to try and get laid.

[Gamerforlife]

Odds are evil secret societies...or aliens.



Let me now take off my tinfoil hat....

Zombie apocalypse would be the most fun though...so I can bust out my infinite ammo shotgun.
