I suppose I'm talking about civilization as we know it, not so much the physical planet.

this.

It isn't gonna happen anytime soon though. We would be a little conceded to think that we would be the one generation in thousands of years of human history to witness our demise

I imagine the decline of human thinking, into the point where we are virtually primal.

Ironically enough, I think overpopulation will kill us. When the world's population really starts to accelerate towards its peak at what scientists believe is about 23 billion (give or take, I can't remember exactly), that's when we'll start to die off. We'll either a) realize how overpopulation will be the death of us and quickly adapt, leaving only the elite, wealthy, intelligent people to bond together and let the rest of the world die off, b) never stop our greed for bigger and better things as the world's biggest companies control us so we won't be able to do anything about the population issues, leading to our own demise, c) eventually make the entire world one country under one socialistic government where the quality of living is so low for the vast majority of citizens that when an epidemic strikes, we won't be able to fight it off, or d) we will literally suck all of the nutrients out of Earth, leaving us with nothing to survive on.

Actually now that I think of it, I think those four options will actually happen in the order I posted them. Minus the death parts at the end of b and c.

Eventually, like in a couple billion years, the sun will start expanding as it does, moving the habitable zone past earth, effectively killing off the human race, if it isn't already gone

Not impossible, but not likely enough for it to be an actual concern.

Exit Mundi by Maarten Keulemans. A collection of end-of-the-world scenarios written in a scientific and humorous way.

There's a site in English: http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm

And a Book in Dutch which goes way more in depth on the scenarios:

WR104 is about to go supernova and our solar system is on the magnetic pole path. The gamma ray burst may strike us and destroy earth.

In about 4 billion years, the sun will expand to engulf Mercury and Venus. Earth may be spared, but the heat will be so intense, that you might as well call it the end. if earth is spared, the white dwarf the sun will become will not supply

If earth survives, then the galaxy of Andromeda will collide with the Milky way in 10 billion years.

If earth still lives, the the great rip will tear every proton apart in 50 trillion years

entire worlds water supply gets contaminated by a virus that north korea is going to release into the atmosphere resulting in everyone dying from water poisoning, Obviously North Korea will be ok as they have underground lakes that nobody knows about with a plentiful supply of fresh uncontaminated water so they wont run out... Fuck North Korea!!!

The world? I think the world's gonna be fine. Do you mean humanity? Because most likely starvation brought on by resource contamination.

Probably a deadly super disease that will spread fast and have a huge resistance to current antibiotics. Maybe won't kill the whole population but put a good dent in it. Something along the Black Plague

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

The world will obviously end when tanner hall tries to send chads gap again. this time breaking his ankles so fast, that the sheer fracturing of them causes multiple supermassive black holes to form. They swallow each other and earth in the ensuing chaos.
