Armageddon

Perhaps a slightly morbid topic, but still...

If ever human civilisation were to crumble, what do you believe would be the cause?

...and on a more positive note, if it were to recover afterwards, what would be the cause of that?

In answer to the first, humans.

We will be our own demise because we can't but help shit all over the planet we need to survive.

Save the Planet campaigns make me laugh. The planet has been around for a long time. It'll be just fine once we've wiped ourselves out.

But humans how? Nuclear war? Global power failure? Meteor strike?

And yes, they should be called 'Save our species' or something, Earth will survive with or without us.

The cause of the end will not be anything grand or cataclysmic..... no big bangs or sudden wipeouts......

It will be a slow and irreversible tiny change in the balance of things.....

Maybe a super-mosquito or other parasite or germ, a super bug.

The world will be just fine without us.

After a few thousand years all traces of us will be gone.

"Earth will survive with or without us."

That is not the point.

The idea is to preserve bio-diversity.

The danger is that the current human-centered way of using the planet puts many species (not humans) at risk of extinction.

But to answer your original question I think that Armageddon on a planetary scale will be caused by a stellar event (meteorite crash or change in orbit) hopefully not in the near future though.

Climate change!

That's the statically more likely outcome!

There's a chance that it could run away and cause complete life extinction!.

Now if you bear in mind that it took 4 billion years for most mammals to evolve and that the earth only has 4 billion years left in it.... Life might just never return!.

If we blow ourselves up through nukes, well life will return a bit quicker, maybe only 20,000 years!

A big meteor will be terminal for 99.9% of life but again it may just be for a 100,000 years or so!

But right now, it's man made climate change that's the more likely

As the Sun dies it will engulf the earth and destroy all traces of human existence unless we've found efficient ways to leave this doomed planet and survive elsewhere ....

Everything else is irrelevant...

How? Who knows? We're very inventive when it comes to destruction and fucking things up.

Earths magnetic field will eventually be no more (it protects us from the sun), it already has holes within it and will continue to disappear. The sun radiation will be so strong that we will need to take shelter/cover but people like us won't be safe it will just be the powerful and rich. Once the magnetic field replaces itself civilisation will start again. Or failing that before Putin or Jim Jon yon Wong ton takes his last breathe they'll grace us with a nuclear bomb, chances are it will be the latter!

Over population will be our finish we are pushing resources to there limits as it is with no regard for planet or any other species.

It has taken billions of years for mammals to evolve and less than 100 years for one type of mammal to ruin the planet isn't mankind grand!

Oh doom and gloom the end is near etc it's a great shame it will take something close to extinction before we will bother to change our ways and in all likelihood it will be to late by then

Inter-related issues. Probably a medical problem, following nutrition deficits, pollution etc all weakening us. Mutated organisms will prey on us and kill us off.

Much as I long for a Zombie related one I think we will simply end up in a dystopian environment after the onset of nuclear war then some famine and disease to add to the gloomy mix.

Shame as I have a zombie defence kit ready.

I think the S&M crowd would have a distinct zombie survival advantage, all that leather and PVC has got to be difficult to bite through.

A viral infection that brings on zombie like symptoms could be a possibility and would add an interesting twist to the human struggle to survive but only as long as they are not world war z zombies as they are well fast and I'm not sure we are tooled up enough for that and zombie is so not a good look

Remember those 'bath salt' drugs, that supposedly gave extremely zombie like behaviour and symptoms?

No virus can cause extinction, population is to diverse and to many, that's just stuff off films!

It's been 150 million years since the last big meteor strike, so odds on we've got awhile for that again.

Super volcanoes go off roughly every 80,000 years and ones due, but again were talking 80,000 years so that's a big time scheme.

Nuclear war, that's a big possibility, but very hard to cause life extinction from it to be fair!

Bacteria mmmm yeah there's a possibility from bacteria but again we've made it for 100,000 years without one showing up.

Climate change however boring and non sci fi, there's plenty of evidence to suggest problems within 50 years major problems within 100 years and reasonable evidence to suggest catastrophic problems within that time frame!

It all depends on whether the small changes we make will bring massive natural changes with it?

It's possible but highly unlikely

Maybe a mix of ebola and rabies could produce a zombie like virus but again your dealing in very small chances, certainly nothing to worry about

If it was a nuclear attack, I would like to go straight away, I`d stand where it`s going to land and headbutt the detonator. Knowing my luck, it wouldn`t go off.

They don't land, they actually detonate about 500-1000ft of the ground!... It adds to the destructive power

You know they can fly the tomahawk at 4ft from the ground for 1200 miles, probably cut your head off before it even detonated
