What, in your opinion, is the greatest threat to life on Earth?

Us. Us blowing it to smithereens. Us plundering it to extinction. Us poisoning it to extinction. Us overrunning it to extinction. Take your pick.

Climate change. If the temperature rises by just a single degree the entire coastline in the US will drop to below sea level. Lots of agriculturally dependant countries are already experiencing unprecedented floods and droughts.

In terms of sterilising earth it might be a cosmic intruder in form of an asteroid, in terms of "life" meaning many animals plus us humans: human shortcomings, human idiocy.
