I'm not sure that we'll be around long enough to see the comet. Though, I figure that a comet strike is an eventuality.
Either that, or, I have to disagree with V - I think that greenhouse gasses, pollution, our combined carbon footprint will really make the planet unlivable.

I think people as a race are too intelligent and too egotistical. We won't destroy the world before it begins to destroy us but I firmly believe that a number of human beings will live because we're almost at the point where we can create artificial environments to support human life on a semi-large scale. Anyway, I'll grow old and die before any of that crap happens and the only thing that would excite me would be the undead. Some people would survive a nuclear winter, flooding of the ice caps would be devastating but it wouldn't cover all the land, the species will carry on for a long, long time. Isn't the sun supposed to reverse magnetic poles again triggering some catastrophic event in 2012?
