100 years? 50? 20?! lol. Well there're four possible scenarios:
a) The world doesn't end, the climate just shifts to hell and two thirds of the population dies due to the water and food producing issues which occur.
b) As resources become scarce and coveted by the rich, there's a world war and some mad hatter dude fires nukes.
c) Everthing turns out fine (pffft!!)
d) Enough carbon is released into the atmosphere that runaway climate change ensues and Earth becomes a smoldering Venus-a-like inhabited by a bunch of single cell amoeba and cockroaches.

Such a nice day outside... Oh wait it's night. Damn. 😛
Ahh... life sucks.
 
I believe the world will end soon enough in terms of timekeeping and history though this issue is for not of us to really be concerned about in the present. I say that because all of us here will be long dead and buried when it does happen so there is no need to worry or plan about it in the present. Oh yeah, on the four scenarios, it is definitely option B. There will be no scientific end with gloal warming and climate change as portrayed in the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow". We as a human race will just wind up destroying ourselves first in a global nuclear world war and later by the radioactive and nuclear fallout. Quite possibly the global warming and natural disaster will follow to round it out thanks to the nuclear catalyst (blocking out the sun, etc).
 
George W. bush will begin to conjure up a thought in his head, causing massive toxic gases to be released into the atmosphere.
 
Hope and Comfort

Well, it can't end tomorrow because it's already tomorrow in Australia and CNN would have the story by now.

meh depends on your religon and what is going on in the world i guess. if you are a christian(im catholic) then u probably believe in what the book of revelations says. basically we will know because there will be mass disappearences for no apparent reason. this is called the rapture. then there is the tribulation in which the antichrist reigns for seven years. then there is the final battle and judgement.
In my opinion, judging by what is happening in the world now, Osama Bin Laden or another radical terrorist will get their hands on a nuke and launch it or North Korea launching a nuke thus causing world war 3. the only problem i have with the nuclear bomb theory is that it wont be used right away because the countries leaders arent stupid and probably know about the counter strike and what will happen to the world if there is full scale use so most likely it will be a last resort type thing.
 
honestly, what's up with the stupid jokes. I have yet to hear one person fully articulate to me why so many try to paint the leader of the free world as being unintelligent. It boggles my freaking mind. this is coming from the population in the world that has the highest debt and lowest savings ratios in the entire world, while also being in the strongest most bountiful economy accusing a soon to be prominent historical figure of being dumb. where is the logic?

Hey Navel...I think you're thinking about "when hell freezes over". 😀
....no wait, hell froze over last year when the Red Sox won the world series! Ok, nevermind, you're right.
 
What a strange topic in this forum...but one that I think about every blue moon. In fact, if anyone really wants a real good read that is thought provoking and logically based upon empirical evidence and concepts (regardless of religion or cultural beliefs) then the book Im reading right now is right up your alley. Its called, Hurtling toward oblivion:A logical argument for the end of the age. No religion (for those of you who despise it) and no outrageous claims (for those of you who dont believe in UFOs), but rather a systematic, logical argument based upon a term called profusion. Give it a read. Who knows? It may start its own thread...see ya later.
 
By my calculations, the world has already ended - we just don't know it yet. 😛

On a more serious - and realistic - note though, I'd say within the next couple of decades, most probably through nuclear war or some massive scientific experiment gone wrong (such as experiments apparently already being run to try and create mini-black holes; really, does it SOUND sensible??!).

All that having been said, I'm not a pessimist by nature; I see myself as a realist. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. So I'm going to put a bet on that I'll live to 100 years old (or more). 😀 Wonder what odds they'll give me? :weird:
 
I'm with Mellissa, not soon enough...but it should be all cool with big explosions and stuff...and I would only want one thing to survive...a copy of Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast...floating in space forever...until it is found by someone or something...

Woe to you oh earth and sea...

Well

the world is not going to end, because everybody else who said it would ent got it wrong. so there!
 
My father used to tell this nice story about when he was a kid somewhere in the 1920s and was sent to school in the town nearest the Swiss mountain village where he grew up.

His parents owned one of these typical Swiss mountain hotels, not very big, but in an exquisite setting, but there was no school anywhere nearby. So he unhappily spent years at a boarding school in a town, idyllic in its own right, but just not his mountain home.

So one day he saw a newspaper article in which was reported what some fellow had prophesied about the world ending on a particular day at a particular hour in the 1920's. He noted the time and date, determined that if everyone was going to go under, he was not going to do so on his own, but would run away from school and home to be with his family so that they could all face death together.

The given day approached, and without ever a word to anyone, he crept out of school and down the road to where his uncle lived, and there whipped his uncle's bicycle. Then he set off hell for leather along the road home.

Now that particular mountain is really high and steep, and he knew that he would never get home in time along the road, which is many miles long. But his father had once pointed to a mountain track that led off through the forest and, so he said, came out directly below their home.

Big problem! What should he do with the bicycle. It might get stolen if he left it, and, if the world did not end that day, he would have a hard time explaining its disappearance to his uncle. So, after some careful consideration, he shouldered the damn thing and began trundling up the steep incline. A couple of hours later, totally whacked, he indeed came onto the road just below his home, and there in the garden was his father, hard at work as if the world would never end.

A bit startled to see his little son appear out of the bushes with a bicycle on his back, he enquired what he was doing there. Well, my father stammered out some words about a newspaper article ...

His father, hardly taking the thing seriously, said something like, "we never take any notice of things these cranks say," and proceeded to get the car out to take him back to school.

Back in town, he got a resounding thwack from his uncle for absconding with his bicycle, and never said another word about it for the next 60 years.

Hehe, now thats one of the best jokes i've heard in a while. I take it by 'leader of the free world' you are referring to Bush, now that in itself is hilarious. Who made him the leader of the free world? And what is this free world you speak of anyway?
No offence meant to any Americans on this forum at all, but quite a few people paint the USA as this huge beacon of democracy and freedom when in fact, in my humble opinion, thats one of the least free-est (word?) free countries in the world what with the lovely Patriot Act, and basically internment without trial (Guantanamo Bay), oh yes and there would be the whole flouting international law with the war in iraq thing also (and before anyone says anything, yes i realise britain is also to blame for that last one).
So like i say, no offence to any americans. You have a lovely country and the vast majority of you all are down to earth, friendly, intelligent people, but as you can probably tell i'm not Bush's biggest fan.
