Serious discussion today folks. Your options are

Mass terrorist attack/nukes
Global warming
Gigantic natural disaster ie massive earthquake/meteor/hurricane
Sun Burns out
Alien attack
Other

Please discuss which option you think it most likely to end our planet.

The Yellowstone Caldera is the biggest near-term threat to life, though it's unlikely to extinguish all life.

The biggest extinction threat medium-term is robots.

The biggest long-term threat is a close proximity supernova.

I like this Yellowstone one. Didn't even enter my mind.

I'd like to hear some more thoughts on the robot thing.

15 years from now Apple is going to launch iRobot (a new device that does everything you can possibly think of including playing your music and wiping your ass), since they like to produce stuff very [censored], their first line of iRobots is going to be defective and eventually take over the world.
