    I think, one of the biggest threats, because I can't name them all, is lack of Fresh Water.

    There's lots of theories with fresh water, I've even heard there is a possibility to purify salt water and turn it into fresh water, not to sure on the legitimacy of this.

    In other cases, China has run out of alot of their water, I believe 40% of the fresh water runoff from glaciers in China has gone now, this meaning there isn't adequate amount for everyone. As well, Lakes and rivers in Africa are now running dry, if only to fuel the fire of warfare there over others resources, water is now a substantial issue, though it has been for awhile, now it's becoming an even bigger threat. This is just the start.

    I am guessing that in another few decades, the possibility of war over fresh water isn't exactly out of the question.

    That's just my two cents...

    The end of the planet? The end of civilization? The end of Humanity? You really gotta be more specific when asking a question like this. They're not necessarily one in the same.

    Here's a little experiment you can try at home to turn theory into practise:

    Step 1. Fill a pot with some salt water and place it in a spot exposed to direct sunlight.

    Step 2. Put an empty glass in the middle of the pot. Careful! Don't let any of the salt water spill into your glass!

    Step 3. Cover the pot with a sheet of plastic. Use some ducktape around the edges to make sure it stays in place.

    Step 4. Place a pebble onto the plastic, directly above the empty glass. The plastic should droop a bit, wich is exactly what we would want to happen.

    Step 5. Work up an appetite for some fresh water while you wait for the salt water to evaporate and condensate.

    Step 6. After a while, you will find that the empty glass has filled up. Huzzah! You just used nature to your own advantage like any propper man should. Enjoy your distilled (fresh) water, you earned it!

    Basically, this is what the sun does to the oceans on a daily basis. It's how clouds are made. Then it rains and we get wet.

    Moreover, whenever fluorescent square motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with the drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal depleneration.

    It's totally possible to purify salt water into fresh water. It's called desalination.

    According to Biblical prophecy, there will be a single world leader in the "end times."

    Well, I think we're almost guranteed that it'll be a meteor strike . . . it probably won't be the end for everything, but it might well wipe out most if not all of humanity

    people still believe in the biblical armageddon?

    wow.

    if we dont wipe ourselves out through our own misdeeds and barring some uncontrollable natural cataclysm including anything falling from the sky and blowing us to pieces lol... eventually the sun will expand and incinerate the earth before it contracts and cools off and dies. and if we're not colonizing through space by then... bye bye human race

    I believe that the 4 horsemen will come. Yes the Biblical Armageddon. If your in the South U.S.A. it's all we talk about right now a lot not all. Defently think the Human race will never die out when i'm a live. Go to the new Earth and thrive there.
    Got nothing...

    Don't forget the 5th!




    But for the destruction of Earth, it would probably a giant rock from space. Who knows

    Terrible thing to say, I know, but Africa running out of water sadly isn't going to make anyone important give enough of a to do something that brings about the end of the world.
