Some will manage to survive no matter what happen.

Human, are like cockroaches, you can kill many but you can not kill them all.

The humans might destroy themselves, but not not the world. The earth survived huge meteors impact and all kind of craps way before the first human has born, and it never ever has been even close to be destroyed. The earth has seen already 5 big massive extinctions only to see the live grown again. I think the humans won't be even able to destroy life, so if a massive nuclear war happens, in some billion of year we would see a world dominated by intelligent cockroaches or some radioactive life.

Asteroid impact or losing the earths magnetic field.

I feel it will be a virus or bacteria some kinda of crazy epidemic that will involve one person getting on a plane and those 200 passagers branching out ect. If nothing like that happens I believe over population will eventually do it. You can only kill so many cows and drink so much water before you cant sustain the population of the world.

One of the most dangerous threats to the human population is a simple virus that is, a deadly disease that spreads rapidly throughout the world.
Within the last century we’ve had four major flu epidemics, as well as HIV and SARS, and scientists says it’s inevitable that another will occur.
The 1918 influenza outbreak killed more people than World War I, and if a deadly contagion surfaced today, it could spread even faster and infect even more people.
Considering how quickly diseases spread though all forms of modern transportation and the amount of international travel that takes place today, an outbreak similar to that of 1918 could have a more devastating impact.
 
And if nature doesn’t send such a deadly contagion our way, mankind just might.
Biological warfare is another threat that looms over the modern world, and diseases like anthrax, Ebola and cholera have all been weaponized.

Nah, Madagascar would be fine, unless the epidemic starts there. Grin

(for those that don't know what I'm talking about, search for an old flash game called Pandemic/Pandemic II)

If a star close to us happens to hypernova we may be cooked.

This is for Sure
SUn will devour earth at year

5.000.000.000

agree with that

" The Sun is about halfway through life, during which nuclear fusion reactions in  its core fuse hydrogen into helium. Each second, more than 4 million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and  solar radiation; at this rate, the Sun will have so far converted around 100 Earth masses of matter into energy. The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main sequence star. The Sun does not have enough mass to  explode as a supernova. Instead, in about 5 billion years, it will enter a red giant phase, its outer layers expanding as the hydrogen fuel in the core is consumed and the core contracts and heats up. Helium fusion will begin when the  core temperature reaches around 100 million kelvins "

Probably by nuclear war.

why can't it be a perfect storm of everything? in the end, it'll probably be due to something that we caused upon ourselves in addition to some natural disaster.

I think the world will end at the hands of our own kind, humanity. I suspect this will happen by Singularity.

Knowledge is Power
The big environmental disaster is definitely coming (not just global warming, but also our overexploitation of natural resources, for example, catching more fish then are needed to repopulate for the next season), but I don't think it will kill us. The only real possibility I can think off is a global war for resources - if we haven't found a way to cut off our dependence on unsustainable resources (oil, coal, etc) before we start really running out of them, then there is a very good chance we may turn to war.

Yeah that sounds about right.

Humans first destroying one another, we like to build things to be great then history shows we just like to shit on everything.

One is for sure. We can almost with 100% certainty say that our world will be destroyed by humans. We bring that destruction upon ourselves unless something will dramatically change in the way people lives.

But people never changes.

Hmm, a couple of possibilities that I haven't seen mentioned:

A rogue star; similar in notion to a rogue planet, a star that was somehow ejected from its original galaxy or is in the process of being ejected. If one were to pass close enough to disturb the Oort Cloud, we could be looking at an increase of objects thrown in towards the inner solar system.

A vacuum metastability event; the idea that we live in a false vacuum, which could at any point in time decay into true vacuum.

A quote from a paper, which Wikipedia mentions:

Quote
The possibility that we are living in a false vacuum has never been a cheering one to contemplate. Vacuum decay is the ultimate ecological catastrophe; in the new vacuum there are new constants of nature; after vacuum decay, not only is life as we know it impossible, so is chemistry as we know it. However, one could always draw stoic comfort from the possibility that perhaps in the course of time the new vacuum would sustain, if not life as we know it, at least some structures capable of knowing joy. This possibility has now been eliminated.
