There are many theories around at the moment describing prior cataclysmic die-offs, to which we seem headed. However, there is another way of looking at things, imo, as described by Richard Bach in "Illusions":
It's OK if the world is destroyed. There are a thousand million other worlds for us to create and choose from. As long as people want planets, there will be planets to live on.
It's ok if the world is destroyed? Even if all the people could make their way to another planet, what about the countless other inhabitants of the planet? And what is to keep the new world from getting destroyed? IMO, this is one of the problems with the world... too many people place absolutely no value on the other beings we share this planet with. And if it is humans that bring about such destruction with rampant consumption and overpopulation, then those irresponsible humans who still have not learned are the least deserving of a new world.
