Lack of oxygen because of pollution of CO2.
We're going to make Jurassic Park happen for real. This probably speeds up the sixth extinction.
You know what? That's an apocalyptic scenario I'd be down with.
If me and everyone I care about is going to die, it might as well be by becoming dinosaur treats. It seems much better than every other scenario I can think of.
We were talking about this in vent a few weeks ago...
Our current system requires making non extinction profitable. Unfortunately It might not be:
The only scenario in which non extinction seems possible is through redundancy in habitats - bringing humanity too far enough distances so that what ever catastrophe would inflict one will spare the other. Except the cost of traveling per kg makes it practically impossible for any resource brought back to make the trip worth it, at least once things such as "Sand bottles from mars" loose their novelty value. This means that we can't really make it worthwhile the same way our colonial day empires did when the distance was just crossing continents.
These kinds of conversations happen in Vent?
When we alter our environment to the extent that it naturally exhibits overwhelmingly more negative feedback against the proliferation and progression of life than it does positive feedback, we will be toast. For all our efforts, we will be unable to produce enough high technology, we will be unable to adapt our conditions fast enough to prevent our eventual non-existence.
Economic depression will draw funding from ebola containment, and grass will quietly swallow our footprint.
Soon.
Theories?
When?
Will it be the sun burning out/combusting?
Global warming?
A series of natural disasters?
Armegeddon?
A deadly pandemic?
What?
