      Oh there are so many things that can kill the human race. It could be a virus with no cure, a new species of animal that evolves that can kill us, a meteorite hitting the earth, a massive solar flare from the sun… It could even be war!

      Probably humans…. as our population expands we can no longer provide enough clean water, food and energy to survive so we change they way that we grow food and make energy but this has a negative impact on the environment that damages the planet. It is very short sighted as we are really reducing the amount of food and energy that we can produce in the future. Sea level rises reduce the amount of farm land around the world, we leave lots of poisonous chemicals in the soil and
      water then pollute the air we breathe these all make people sick. We need to learn how to create energy from natural resources such as solar, wind and wave movements and have cleaner farming practices that do not rely on using lots of chemicals. We also need to change the way that people travel to reduce the amount of pollution from our roads.

      My guess for how the human race will meet its end is, by a meteor crashing into earth. You know, a dinosaur-like end!

      I think there are two other ways we can come close to killing the human race:
      1) pandemic (virus, probably),
      2) humans kill each other through nuclear war
      But I honestly don’t think that either of these two methods will kill all of us. We are like roaches–there’s always a few lingering in the corners 😉
