What do you mean by the "world"? If it's just humans, I'd vote for a comet or large volcanic eruption that blocks the sun leading to many years of nuclear winter snuffing out most life and food sources.

If it's the Earth, or all life on it, would have to be when the sun evaporates all water and then cooks the planet to a crisp.

Gents.

You are ignoring the greatest threat to tettestdtrial life on this planet.

You've heard about it for a couple of decades.

The science is in and confirmed

You know what I'm talking about.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Well the world wont end for a really long time. Its a pretty durable rocky planet. Civilization will be killed off by a pandemic or meteor, but the world will still be around for billions of years afterwards, until the sun expands at the end of its life and consumes the earth, burning everything into molten lava and fire.

Unlikely, although there was nothing living except plants (and not all existing species) when we got here some fifty thousand years from now from Day Zero (sometime in the 1940s). Not even tardigrades, protozoa, bacteria or viruses. Only trace evidence of electromagnetic radiation and inconsistent distribution of elements indicated the presence of sentient beings, hence the question. It has been somewhat of a mystery, occupying considerable resources in some circles, now partly, but not completely answered. Considered probability of secondary (actually tertiary) development of sentient biologicals through remaining planetary cycle at or as near zero as calculable. Planet-ending meteor strike is unlikely given the local cycle, so likely the planet physically exists until Sol/planet orbit merge in approximately 5 billion years (calculated on Earth orbit cycle), the most probable scenario - nuclear fusion is a rather predictable clock. Hence, Fire.
