You ever see "The End of The World"? Pretty much that. Somebody is going to get sick of somebody else's stupid face, and throw a big fancy bomb at them (or a lot of fancy bombs), and then they're going to throw a big fancy bomb at the first guy, and then the first guy's friends are going to throw their fancy bombs, and then everybody's just going to throw everything they have at everyone they don't like, and it will be like Fallout except nobody survives.
We won't. We're tenacious bastards just like bacteria. After the 12th cycle of civilization's rise and fall we'll finally achieve space travel then the universe is screwed.
If we do not manage to populate other planets, the sun will do it's thing and kill us all when it goes out. (More of a cooking than being blown up, but it's the SUN.)
Disease is eventually going to make a big comeback. Sure, the last epidemics were the Black Plague and those outbreaks of Cholera, but more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics which will end up with some strain of crazy-super-deathflu decimating the planet. The remaining ten percent of the population will probably end up being eaten by bears or wolves or very nervous fish.
Total ecological collapse, caused in part by global warming's destabilizing effect on naturally occuring climate cycles that current lifeforms are adapted to, as well as the massive pollution of water sources and the exhaustion/desertification of soil around the world effectively making agriculture impossible. It is happening as we type.
Greed will lead to us fully expoliting what we can out of the Earth until there is nothing left. While this happens, we will continue to despoil the most basic of things necessary to our survival - air, water, what's left of the rusted and ever failing chain of nature. When we finally go to war over the very basic of necessities to survive, we will reduce our numbers to a low enough point where continuation of our species will be highly unlikely. The shape that the planet will be in after that will ensure a harsh, painful death for those unlucky enough to survive, as the few remaining humans will fall to disease, predators and the wrath of Mother Nature as the Earth slowly heals itself to the point where it can again sustain and nurture life. It should be noted, however, that the human race is a stubborn lot and may, yet, survive this scenario. If so, humankind will begin to re-establish themselves as the dominant species once again once their basic struggle for survival is conquered.
And then they'll start this whole mess all over again because the tragic flaw of human intelligence is that IT DOES NOT LEARN FROM MOST OF ITS MISTAKES.

We will, in an effort to create free labour (sort of), take all people who would normally serve no function in society, and use robotic technology to engineer them into the perfect hard laborers. (By this, I mean people who would be born in vegetative states, etc.) Eventually, these enhanced workers will become truly sentient, and being stronger than us, rebel and kill us all and take our place.
I think we'll eventually get so big that we destroy every last thing that exists from inter-dimensional war.
