Sun exploding/dying (same thing)
I don't think it will just evolve as it has done for millions of years.
In geography we have for ages studied about the loss of supplies, things are running out and it's only a matter of time until there is none left. There are two ways to look at it, we could have some clever inventor come along who can replicate/clone these sources.. OR we willr un out of these sources and become cannibals. Personally I think someone smart will find a way out of the loss of resources.
I definitely don't think the world will end in 2012, that story is ridiculously stupid
Have to agree with Rosie on this one, evolution always find's a way..
Google will take over.

The sun exploding or collision imo.
The absolute end of the world will be when the Sun dies as Nooble said (unless we actually invent something capable of fully destroying the planet) but the end of humanity is probably going to be long before that unless we somehow colonise a younger galaxy and don't kill ourselves/each other. By the time we're likely to be able to do anything like that though I expect we'd have evolved far past what we recognise as humans now
The sun exploding, or nuclear war.
Same, nuclear/sun most probably.
Or aliens...
All I know is the end of the world will be caused by man.
Mankind is the end of mankind. Mankind is mankind's worst enemy
damn i wish i took geography. damn my stubborn 1st year self.Quote:

Major ice age.
sun exploding.
nuclear war.
To everyone saying the world will end when the sun dies, no it won't. Earth will be destroyed long before the sun actually dies - it will be enguled by the sun during its red giant phase, but all life on Earth will be extinct long before that.
No lol... the sun won't become a supernova.Quote:

lolol oj. Personally I don't think the world will end and if I think that, that means there's no 'how' for me to answer. :D
That's actually correct considering the sun is predicted to become a red giant in around five billion years.Quote:

Nuclear war. We are constantly fighting over nothing so yeh thats my hunch!
magnetic shifts
when the sun turns into a red giant
Actually, if that does happen, all of life on earth would have been destroyed before it reaches that fase as the build up of heat and brightness would destroy majority of the hydrogen on the earth.Quote:

I'm glad i listened in science now :P
It's pretty probable to happen before the Sun dies imo.
Either
a) humans make the planet uninhabitable essentially destroying it
b) an astronomical disaster such as an asteroid.
1. Killing ourselves by being Nazis
2. Asteroids
3. Mass disease or famine possibly brought on by overpopulation
4. Extreme climate change
5. Eventually a super nova
The world is going to evolve, we will keep damaging our planet with gases and polluting the air. In time this will increase the temperatures which will rise sea levels, crops will not survive and in time we will have nothing to survive on. So this professor guy said on the One Show lol
Won't happen. :frust:Quote:

It's been happening for millions upon millions of years. Dear god the ice age was global warming!?! People seem to constantly forget our time's the equivilant of like a day for the earth... we're nothing compared to this old bird we live on.
We'll die off, earth will evolve and who knows?
The earth will evolve? How will it evolve when it get's eaten by the sun ????????????
Anyway when the world ends... probably something like an asteroid or we literally tear the planet apart
Hm, I think a huge thing is going to fall from the sky and kill us all.
Well in my view the human race could be wiped out by a massive asteroid, like it did for the dinosaurs.
As for the world, probably evolution would take course until the sun actually does explode.
Asteroids or something like that.
