IMHO, only three things can kill all of us.

1. the sun doing something crazy (not even mentioned!!)
2. An asteroid of sufficient size to create a worldwide lack of photosynthesis
3. A germ that cannot be eradicated and that can spread easily.

Everything else mentioned would not take humans out entirely. Some of the suggestions are fanciful and give a glimpse into the writer's political leanings. :D

Well, I would then add this to the list: a super nova near enough to the solar system will fry all of our asses immediately.

I'll go with the last on the list.
I'm a firm believer that eventually our own technical advances will be our doom, whether accidental or in the hands of the wrong people.
