ET Invasion
Pretty straightforward, we are not alone and whatever discovers us is not a benevolent force
Stephen Hawking: Aliens living in 'massive ships' could invade Earth | Daily Mail Online
Global Pandemic
Viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola, an evolved flu, superbugs resistant to anti-biotics. A global pandemic that does worse than the plague and reduces civilization to unsustainable levels
The next global pandemic is somewhere out there. The challenge is to stop it
AI/Tech
Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have both discussed the potential dangers to humanity of AI. Skynet becomes reality, robots achieve singularity and deem us a waste or on a smaller level, molecular nanotechnology self-replicate to the point of consuming all matter on earth aka Grey goo - Wikipedia
5 Very Smart People Who Think Artificial Intelligence Could Bring the Apocalypse
Natural Distaster
Supervolcanic eruptions, gamma ray bursts, solar flares, asteroid impact. A cataclysmic disaster outside our control

Climate Change
Temperatures continue to increase, sea-levels rise and the global ecosystem collapses.
Earth Headed for Collapse, Researchers Warn
The Point of No Return: Climate Change Nightmares Are Here
War
Nuclear weapons, bio-warfare. A mutually assured destruction scenario leads to global destruction or terrorists/rogue governments come into possession of such weaponry and unleash them with no regard
India-Pakistan nuclear war could 'end human civilisation'
End Times
Will you repent and accept your Savior? The world ends as described in various religious texts
End time - Wikipedia
Other
The World Health Organization says depression will be the 2nd leading cause of death and lost productivity by 2020, people in developed nations have disproportionately high suicide rates. Are we experiencing a sensory overload we are not designed for and will be unable to handle?
Could something like the Large Hadrian Collider actually create a black hole? Could science go too far?
No end
We stay one step ahead, planet and universe hopping for eternity
Combination
A new plague emerges as the world is engulfed in a world war or a supervolcanic eruption disrupts the global climate triggering conflicts over resources and leads to runaway chaos. I think many will see climate change as being a catalyst or as augmentation for the other scenarios
