I think eventually humans will wipe each other out through war; Then the Earth would become so polluted that the few survivors will die from radiation/illness/poisoning, etc.
I agree with you option.

5 billions years next, the Sun will cover our Earth border, the other planet (may be Mar?) will crash our Earth because of eclipse running. The world will disappear, absolutely, why do I confirm? Because the scientist confirm! Smilie

Sadly I think that our end will be self-destruction. Watching the news and listening to younger people make me feel that the evolution has stopped for human beings and the regression has kicked in. Most likely we will kill ourself. This is the situation in my country at least.

Aliens May Strike Humans To Save The Galaxy: Study

Quote:
Beyond endangering the earthly inhabitants, humans may have posed a serious threat to the entire galaxy, possibly prompting aliens to destroy humanity in order to end global warming and save the rest of the galaxy from being contaminated as well.

Surprisingly, the suggestion comes from one of NASA's scientists.

The scenario was brought up in a joint study by Penn State University and the NASA Planetary Science Division, titled "Would Contact with Extraterrestrials Benefit or Harm Humanity? A Scenario Analysis."

"A preemptive strike would be particularly likely in the early phases of our expansion because a civilization may become increasingly difficult to destroy as it continues to expand," the study says. "Humanity may just now be entering the period in which its rapid civilizational expansion could be detected by an ETI (extraterrestrial intelligence) because our expansion is changing the composition of the Earth's atmosphere, via greenhouse gas emissions."

After much considerations my view is the lack of water will be our doom.

Water is the source of all opportunities, a lack of it is also the source of misfortune entire civilizations could vanish and turn into deserts or wasteland if water source is depleted.
