I'm thinking about Overpopulation.
This produce mass migration from the undeveloped Countries to the advanced Countries.
Less resource, partially caused from the overpopulation and partially for the pollution.
Also the pollution cause an acceleration in climate change.
So i think probably will be on the future more conflicts for primary resource (as the water more then the oil).

On the reply i'm thinking about strong changes (for people) but don't a proper World End.
Because if for World we means the Earth, the Earth can exist even without humans and even when will be the Red giant expansion of our Sun the Earth will remain.
Sure without anything, no plants, no animal, etc, but the planet remain on the Universe.
While if we speak for end of the humans only, i think is more probable for:
- the Red giant expansion of our Sun (on the best case scenario)
- laboratory creation of a black hole

There has been a lot of press lately about experimenters / hobbyists that are creating their own viruses in what is referred to as "garage labs".

Scientists have recently published a number of papers about this; but the information is considered so dangerous that they have held back publication, for obvious reasons.

The world will end on Tuesday 19 January 2038 at 03:14:07 UTC.

Year 2038 problem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The day will start as normal and then the whinging calls will come in: "my plane fell out of the sky"; "my power station stopped working"; "my electronic brain hurts"; "I've forgotten my password".

Are you still running one of those old antique 32 bit computers?

BTW, this is the REAL reason banks have been goofing up all the new 30 year mortgages since 2008.
