Post your worst case scenerio for the future. (2009, best)

The sun slowing burning out and eventually fading away.

[caution]

facing a meager existance with a simple daily fight for survival becuase the systems that support modern life begin to fail, rapidly falling like dominos (not that I think it will happen that way, it will probably be too slow to notice)

The sun will not just "fade away".....ever. It will grow into a red giant swallowing the earth and all around it when it does.

When everyone on the planet is minding everyone else's business rather than their own.

We are half way there right now.

Worst case: Total thermonuclear war. The survivors slowly dying a horrible death. Nothing grows, nothing lives.

This has to do with my worst fear.

The sun won't just fade away. It'll explode & take us with it in a black hole.

Not for quite a few eons yet, though. Our descendants will likely have figured out a way to move into a new neighborhood before then, provided something else hasn't caused our extinction yet.

IMO, best case! The sooner we put this cruel, laboratory experiment called the human race to an end, the better off this planet will be, and the better off we'll all be.
