Greatest Threat to Humanity
What do you think is the single greatest threat to humanity's survival? Is it global warming, nuclear weapons, poverty, religion, diseases like AIDS? Or is it something else?

If you were to narrow that down to a trait or characteristic, what would you say makes us our biggest threat to ourselves? Is it greed?

Everything you named is caused/spread by man. Our tendency to have ''needs'' for everything, we consume literally everything and are running the Earth dry. It's half our fault, and half the leaders. The leaders put so much limitation on growing our own food, etc... because they'll miss out on the money. So they mass produce things and we're running out of resources. It's our fault because we're lazy and let it happen. I honestly don't believe in Global warming but nor have I put much of my time into it. If it is due to pollution than that's also man-made. We're a destruction to our own-selves. Nuclear weapons is what scares me the most. The fact there's something on this earth that can potentially end it is frightening. There should be destruction of all nuclear weapons cause if a nuclear war does break out... I don't even know, that'd be some crazy stuff.

Mass production isn't specifically greed. Supply and demand. Coke isn't staying on shelves until it's out of date. People buy coke instantly. So they have to keep creating more product to appease the people.
Globlal Warming is real, and it's man's fault, but man is simply evolving the way we were supposed to. You can't blame a cow for producing toxic methane gas anymore than you can blame man for his factories. We evolve to invent, develop and promote convenience for ourselves. Always have, always will.
Nukes are the exact same. The man with the big stick took the mammoth meat (sounds like a gay thing).

I think it could be any of the following really. I wouldn't put it past one of the governments to launch a nuclear missile to contain a virus tbh. I don't think we'll honestly know how humanity will fall until it actually happens. There's just too many possible ways for it to go down. An interesting thread topic. Kind of a breath of fresh air.

The greatest threat to humanity is NOT stupidity, incompetence or corruption from a country or whatever. It's easy to be an armchair politician about these things, but the guys know what they are doing.
Natural causes is basically my best bet. Meteor or something.

We're the greatest threat to ourselves
Pollution, famine, etc etc are end results & byproducts of what we create/abuse
