Top Ten Most Possible Causes to the End of the World

This, known as World War III, could be the possible cause of the end of the world. I hope this never happens. Why do we, as humans, fight each other every day? I hope world peace will happen, but I don't think it ever will.

When WWIII starts, countries will launch tons of nuclear bombs at each other. A large number of fires will occur, the air will be polluted, the internet and telecommunications will stop working, there will be a huge economic crisis, the temperature will drop significantly and become very cold, there will be no sunlight, acid will rain instead of water, food production will collapse, and billions of people will die.

Let's all hope that this never happens.

Nobody will benefit from a nuclear war, not even Russia. Mass destruction is overkill, and nobody would win a nuclear war. It would only result in worldwide devastation.

Nuclear weapons will blow everyone to pieces, and quite frankly, if they don't, we will die of radioactive poisoning, starvation, dehydration, lack of resources, or depression.

So, we may not die directly as a cause of WWIII, but it could be an aftershock or effect of the actions.

With nukes destroying all the countries, the world will start to end. I actually think we're close to the end because of the rumors of WW3, but the Bible says no one knows except God.

If all diseases were to somehow combine together, they would become unstoppable. No cure. We would all be dead.

There is an Ebola outbreak in Africa right now.

I feel so sorry for anyone who ever gets Ebola.

This would only happen if Ebola and the common cold were mixed.

Yeah, I agree with pollution because I'm writing a speech and pollution is my main point. Thanks, thetoptens.

Well, it might be in 4027, so maybe the world never ends, but this is correct.

This should be number one on the list.

Go solar panels... If you can. Good luck.

An asteroid could strike Earth at any time and totally obliterate it.

This could happen. Many eruptions have caused a lot of deaths, especially in Indonesia. Over 1 million lives have been lost due to eruptions in Indonesia.

The worst could end humankind. Be prepared to survive!

Yellowstone should be destroyed before it erupts, which might not be THAT long. It could be several years.

I'm glad I live in Canada. We won't be hit as badly. So, Americans should flee to either Canada or Mexico.

Yellowstone National Park... A ticking time bomb... That could go off at any time... In an hour, a couple of minutes, maybe days or years...

Whatever the time, the USA is doomed. Full stop.

Whole countries, such as Bangladesh, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Tuvalu could be flooded pretty soon.

Millions would be killed or displaced.

I read that you wouldn't even feel yourself being stretched apart... I'm not really sure if that's true. I wonder.

I just hope the world doesn't end while I am here or while my kids are on this planet. Even though I'm not that old yet, just because I planned that...

The closest black hole is at the center of our galaxy. Plus, it will take at least one million years to get halfway as close to it as we are now.

Think about it. There could be a graveyard really close to a radiation plant. Radiation + dead bodies = zombies. It WILL happen, and I'm going to be prepared. Like this comment if you will too.

Yes! I love all you commenters for agreeing with me! Scientists trying to find cures, enhanced diseases, certain bug bites, radiation plants, and genetic engineering could lead to this! I'm getting prepared!

It will be the end of the world. Have you ever heard of mad cow disease? I'm telling you, a more evolved form of that virus will occur in someone's beef burger, and they will start to crave human meat.

The sun won't explode as a supernova. It's not massive enough. It will have to turn into a red giant first, which it will, and this would result in the Earth becoming a Mercury-like planet before it is finally swallowed by the sun.

However, you don't need to worry about that (even though it is inevitable if the Earth is still here somehow) because it won't happen for another 5 billion years.

If this really happens, I think the government will allow killings. Just think about it. Without time, no one will age. This means the number of deaths will be reduced significantly, and when the planet becomes overpopulated, perhaps the government will resort to massive genocides to reduce the number of humans.

The powerful and rich people will surely find a way to stay alive, while those who are poor will suffer.

If time stops, then we're all invincible. Time ending would not kill anyone nor would it even pause anyone.

You wouldn't age though. You would live forever.

No water, no ecosystem. Learn to eat rocks.
