Climate change could mean the extinction of our species

[Stavros]

And of course we cannot rule out the emergence of a disease (probably a crossover from animals) that cannot be cured that wipes out a large proportion of a country's/region's/world population.

Anyone of you knows the show entitled "Life After People"? I love that one! You know that it's almost certain that after only a thousand, or at worst a few thousand years after our disapearance, all traces of our passage would be erased. I find that idea strangely comforting. It gives me a sense of our real place in this world...

The day bees become extinct that's humans finished!

I'll let the birds and the bees live when they pay for the use of my private property. I'm not running a wildlife sanctuary for freeloading animals here. Robins wanna nest in my trees they can pay rent. (Just trying on the teabertarian ideology for size. It has the same effect on me as on everybody else...it makes one's ass look big).

The last evidence of us would probably some space junk and what we left on the Moon or Mars. That's about it

It will be Christmas in the jungle and the savannah, in the forest and in the tundra, in the depth of the oceans and in the sky if one day the disappearance of our specie is announced… If any of this still exist…

You're absolutly right, Martin. I completely forgot about that. It's spoiling my fun a little, but hey! I'll survive... or will I????
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the objects in orbit will fall eventually. On the moon, you're right: forget it: it will be there till the expansion of the sun.

Aren't Timothy Leary's last mortal remains journeying into deep space now. Maybe the old guru of LSD will land p in some solar system in a galaxy quintillions of light years away and be considered even more alien than when he walked this planet?

Whoops forgot my medicine.
