Look man you wanna know the truth about it all, It won't be a comet or an earthquake or a super volcano. Just open ur eyes the world is already in the shitter. It won't be some catastrophic event that will end the world, but hyper inflation, overpopulation, political corruption, environmental issues, pollution, war, and economic instability happening all together will cause this world to keep spiraling into into the sewer... Which is already happening

Wait.... what???

alot of end of the world movies do have black presidents

Thats because they thought that having a black president was not a possibility.... then again..... they do own the movie and music industries..... as well as the government..... maybe those movies are a hint at what is to come..............or maybe they make movies like these to down play actual events........ like "OMG there is a giant meteor coming to earth".... "oh its ok, well just send Ben Affleck and Bruce Willis to go destroy it and all will be well"

What don't you understand? Environmental issues such as shifting climates or pollution not super volcanoes or some massive storm like in day after tomorrow.

The end of the world is an interesting subject. Not because of speculations of causes but solely because it is inevitable. Our sun will died out eventually and even if it does not (and it will) our current orbit will send our planet off in deep space. Be it that these events will not occur for billions of years from now, but even then on a larger scale when our galaxy collides with our neighboring spiral galaxy the Andromeda, we are destined to be destroyed. Now that leads us to current events, what can we do to prolong our existence?

Well a strong space program helps. Without that, technology and research is developed slower and our chances of surviving impact of any foreign objects are basically non existent. Terrestrial factors as mentioned are of more immediate concern than an object impacting our planet. Floods, volcanoes, temperature and climate change are observable now, but not yet on a global scale. Now when you say "the of the world", I assume you mean for us humans or even mammals. Because life on Earth will go on as long as their is liquid water. Micro-organisms thrive in harsh environments and will eventually evolve once again over millions of years as they have in the past. So as long is there is a planet, and it is in the "Goldilocks zone"; there will be life. But humans are not so lucky. We are not very special and we are poorly designed so our existence is fragile. Our species came from an aggressive past. As soon as we could find a way to kill each other we would. Even today we call our live "civil" yet we wage wars over petty issues like superstitions, tradition, and greed. Even in the famous drake equation to find intelligent life in a galaxy, the amount of potential planets to host life even then only stands a 50/50 chance to survive extinction due to their own genocide.

So if we don't kill ourselves, and there are no immediate threats by impending impacts of comets/asteroids/whatever; we still have natural disaster and man-made natural disasters. We can detect most major natural disasters, and we can prevent all man-made natural disasters. But it all comes down to, do we want to deal with it now or leave it up to future generations. And until this petty shit we as a society puts ahead of our more important priorities; it doesn't even matter.
