I'm not one to buy into conspiracy theories too much, but there does seem to be a disproportionate amount of bad things happening lately. Now I don't think the planet is going to explode or aliens are going to wipe us out with their phasers or any nonsense like that. However given the political and economic instability around the world at this time, any sort of widespread ecological disaster could certainly push desperate people over the edge and cause mass hysteria which would certainly threaten global security.
And Honestly, it would not take much for it to be THE END OF THE WORLD (as we know it). The fall of Rome was pretty much the end of the world for you if you happened to live there. The Revolutionary War certainly changed the world, as seen by the people living at the time. It would not be unfair to assume that some major event in the near future could cause the United States to cease being the most powerful nation in the world and have that title go to China, or some other developing nation. The world would certainly be over as we know it. Things would be very different.
