How will we all die? Researchers count the ways.

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.

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.

Hard to take an article like that seriously when it doesn't mention zombie apocalypse

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.
