How much longer do you think life as we know it will continue on Earth?

Some scientist say that we have 100+ years left of natural resources based on the population explosion.
Also NASA shutdown and recently reopened a program that scanned outer space for dangerous asteroids. There are 2 that they know of that are heading our way that could be cataclysmic if they hit us. They don't think they will but what about the ones we don't know about?
Lastly the way things are going in the Middle East with Israel and ISIS you have to believe sooner or later things unwind and Russia and China make a move. The next World War would certainly end life as we know it.
So how much longer do you think we have left?

Until we destroy ourselves. Then new life takes over.

Nobody knows 
Plate tectonics will kill us one day no matter what.

That's a pretty bold statement. Care to elaborate

No it wouldn't. Didn't you know First Contact with the Vulcans happens after the next World War, ushering in a new era of prosperity for the human race?

Mankind was born on earth. But we were never meant to die here.

Well that's just a load of crap, not to mention it completely ignores our technological explosion also. Think how technology has advanced in the last 20 years. Now imagine the technological advancements 100 years from now. Problems spur innovation.
I think we're on this planet for thousands of years until a cataclysmic natural disaster wipes us out.

Who knows. Only god knows the exact date and time. Just live each day to the fullest.

Man faces two existential threats - Nuclear warfare and environmental destruction.
I do not think there is any leadership with the clout to deliver that is crazy enough to seek out destruction of the race by way of nuclear warfare. Environmental destruction is incremental; it is a bigger problem as not everyone acknowledges or believes in the threats we may very well be exposing ourselves to.

I am basically in the Malthusian/dieoff camp that population will be down to a billion or so in 50-100 years when the fossil fuels are gone.
Video - Arithmetic, Population, and Energy.
Population - the Elephant in the Room.
Peak Oil, Total Collapse and the Road to Olduvai.
The End of Growth.
Eating Fossil Fuels.
Lots more fun at the dieoff sites:
