re: Killz Thread: What's the weirdest hypothetical way for the end of all humanity?

quote:

---

Population continues to expand, environment and climate becomes further damaged, fossil fuels start to run out and can no longer prop up the food system which is already stressed by the environmental issues, populations respond to the scarcities with war, someone pushes the button, everything bigger than a bacterium dies in the resulting nuclear winter.

While that scenario is very probable, I think a Malthusian Collapse is more likely to happen before someone pushes the button.

After all, those with the buttons are more powerful and rich than the buttonless. More of the former would survive than the latter. The Third World are breeding like rabbits and agricultural food production capacity is being stretched to the breaking point.

Something has to give. It will be humans.
