      I think this is one question that the film and TV industry seems to have taken a great interest in lately, there are lots of films based on how the world ends be it zombie apocalypses, deadly viral outbreaks or the human race leaving to other planets! One film that I particularly related to and aligns with my imagination of how the world may end one day is “The Day After Tomorrow”. In this 2004 film, there is a sudden global storm that plunges the world into a new Ice Age.
      Theory has it that it was an Ice Age that wiped out the dinosaurs and they were supposedly around a pretty long time before that, and they are a lot bigger than us humans! So if an Ice Age was able to wipe out that whole species before, I think it could of course wipe us out if it ever happened again…
      However that is IF it happens, which I can’t say I have any theory behind WHEN that may be although I hope that if it does it will be in a very long time from now and hopefully something I will never have to experience in my lifetime!
