There's been end-of-the-world scenarios all throughout history. I personally subscribe more to the view as told by T.S. Elliot in his poem "The Hollow Men":
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
I don't think that there's going to be an explosive apocalypse to destroy us all within a short span of time (unless we and this planet survive until the day the sun dies, millions of years from now). I believe it will be a slow, gradual end influenced by a variety of factors (war, disease, climate change, etc).
