Re: How will the world end

I think disease is an extremely unlikely cause for extinction. I would guess there have been no recorded infectious agents with a 100% kill rate (assuming a reasonable sample size). I think disease is a pretty good candidate for the end of civilization, but we're too genetically diverse for it to have much likelihood of causing our extinction.
ActionJeff- Rather than me finding and reading a book, I would much rather you just tell me what theory has supplanted accelerating expansion as a viable universal endgame.

Let's say you're some big shot scientist assigned to rate risks of various threats etc. Do you place extinction of the human race as any more significant than the end of civilization?
