Nobody has mentioned a machine uprise?? They're already fucking our women. It's only a matter of time until they fuck all of us.

The human race will end as a result evolution. We will evolve into a new species capable of living with temperatures of 400 degrees in the shade. They will also have the ability to breathe CO2 and eat cockroaches since it will be the only other life form left on earth. Nature selection will deselect humans as we now know them. The new species will be called homo sapiens crispy.

we will fall the same fate as the dinosaurs...

.If I lived across the water from the big apple I would probably feel the same way.
America is actually sparsely populated (see for yourself - goog earth).
Re: How will the human race will end?
If it's destined to happen, I just hope that the suffering is kept to a minimum for all of man and beast alike.
The movie, Children of Men, introduced an interesting theory in that maybe as the human species gets older, we will slowly stop having children.
I don't remeber why humans stopped having kids in the movie, but my theory is that it may start with birth defects or a growing number of stillbirths... maybe prolonged exposure of radiation from generation to generation will render each generations reproductive organs more useless...
It would be pretty depressing to see the species just wither away, the population decreases, and finally only 1 human being is left on the planet, until he also dies and humans are gone forever.

I don't know, but it will be awful like the dinosaurs.
If there's any justice in the universe, it will end in the middle of one of Glenn Beck's chalkboard "lessons."

It's not very scientific to just look at something like Google and determine such things.The experts and even most average folks like you in the western US know they are in trouble with water for example as laid out very well in this news item.

"An Arid West No Longer Waits for Rain "
"The scramble for water is driven by the realities of population growth, political pressure and the hard truth that the Colorado River, a 1,400-mile-long silver thread of snowmelt and a lifeline for more than 20 million people in seven states, is providing much less water than it had."
"In California, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has sounded alarm bells by pushing for a ballot measure in 2008 that would allocate $4.5 billion in bonds for new water storage in the state. The water content in the Sierra Nevada snowpack has reached the lowest level in about two decades, state hydrologists have reported, putting additional pressure on the nation’s most populous state to find and store more water.
“Scientists say that global warming will eliminate 25 percent of our snowpack by the half of this century,” Mr. Schwarzenegger said recently in Fresno, Calif., “which will mean less snow stored in the mountains, which will mean more flooding in the winter and less drinking water in the summer.”
"Still, some of the sharpest tensions stem more from population growth than cautionary climate science, especially those between Nevada and Utah, states with booming desert economies and clout to fight for what they say is theirs."
Large populations in deserts is not a sustainable idea.:horse:

Date set for desert Earth
The Earth is entering the final 10% of its lifespan, according to a US geoscientist.
Professor James Kasting, at Pennsylvania State University, calculates that the Earth's oceans will disappear in about one billion years' time, due to increased temperatures from a brightening Sun.
However, well before the planet is left as an arid desert, the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will be too low to support plant life, destroying the foundation of the food chains.
"The Sun, like all main sequence stars, is getting brighter with time and eventually temperatures will become high enough so that the oceans evaporate," said Professor Kasting.
At 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit), water becomes a major constituent of the atmosphere. Much of this water drifts up to the stratosphere and is lost into space. Eventually, all the oceans will leak out of the Earth's grasp.
Burnt-out planet
"Astronomers always knew that the oceans would evaporate, but they typically thought it would occur only when the Sun left the main sequence - that will be in five billion years."
Sun
The Sun will consume Mercury
Stars leave the main sequence when they stop burning hydrogen. The Sun will then become a red giant, swamping and obliterating Mercury. Venus will lose its atmosphere and become a burnt-out planet.
"However, my calculations show the oceans may evaporate much earlier," said Professor Kasting. "They are somewhat pessimistic and present a worst-case scenario, but they say a billion years."
The earlier loss of carbon dioxide will occur because as the climate gets hotter and wetter, more rock is weathered by rain. This dissolves carbon dioxide and hides it away on the ocean floor as calcium carbonate.
"Obviously, a billion, even a half billion years, is a long way off in the future," said Professor Kasting. "But these models can help us refine our understanding of the time that a planet remains in an orbit where life can exist."
"If we calculated correctly, Earth has been habitable for 4.5 billion years and only has a half billion years left."
Professor Kasting's comments were made at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

It will be blown up by the Death Star. It will be quick and rather painless. As if a million voices suddenly cried out in terror...and suddenly silenced.

I gotta bad feeling about this.
