End of the World scenerios/Apophis less likely to hit Earth

Apophis less likely to hit Earth

 

The threat of Apophis (885ft asteroid) hitting Earth on April 13, 2036 has been moved from originally 1 in 22,000 or so, to 1 in 45,000, and now all the way to 1 in 250,000.

 

With the coming 2012 movie and hype, and a lot of "end of the world" shows popping up on Discovery or Science channel, I have been putting thought (not a lot mind you, haha) into which on is the most worrisome. I settled that the Yellowstone Super Volcano worries me the most, but I use the term "worries" very very loosely. What about all of you? Gamma Ray burst from outer space? All matter ceases to be? Double black holes rips apart earth? Hypercanes?

Any of those would be pretty miserable.

i agree the threat of Iran and nukes is the biggest threat to the existence of the planet as of right now.

[dadofandrew]

Terrorism and nuclear materials are the main threat, be it a nutty leader (Iran) or well funded groups like the Taliban.

I'm going to have to go with "nuts with nukes" or a bad pandemic.

[DougJones43]

I would definitely have to say some kind of super-virus is the most likely threat posed to humanity.

Climate Change/Energy crisis...it'll be slow and painful.

[LouisEly]

For those of you not on the West Coast, North Korea can hit Alaska with a long-range missle, possibly LA.

 

Other than that, yoshii hit the nail on the head.

Zombies.

The single most shocking revelation in this thread...

 

A rogue state detonating a nuke is problematic my biggest fear, I just hope it happens east of WI.

Down right scary there.

I'm more worried about the world ending from some weird perverted science experiment like LHC or some moon bomb than I am nuclear apocalypse.
