... you all are going to have to excuse me but I am 55 years old and for as 
long as I can remember I have been told by  numerous pundits that 
civilization especially western civilization is about to go bust and 
self-destruct.  First it was by all-out nuclear war - I also can remember 
being told we would run out of crude oil by 2000 - then it was the coming 
ice age - and now we all are going to roast in our own juices with global 
warming and the runaway greenhouse effect.  Sorry if I sound jaded & cynical 
but a ton of money has been and will be made predicting the end of the 
world.

Personally I think if we snuff ourselves it will come from the small 
microbial end of things.  Probably with good & benign intentions somebody 
will alter the genes of some lifeform and do irrepairable harm to most 
probably the food chain and then we all can kiss our modern civilization 
goodbye.  Just my 2 cents worth.
