1. Something else equally terrifying:
"Climate change is melting permafrost soils that have been frozen for thousands of years, and as the soils melt they are releasing ancient viruses and bacteria that, having lain dormant, are springing back to life."

7. Sad thing is we'll take every sentient being down with us.
Cockroaches and micro-organisms with survive. Guess that's the point at which conscious life will begin, again.
