fire or ice

do you think the world will end in fire or end in ice? I refer to frost's poem:

"Some say the world will end in fire,/ some say in ice./ From what I've tasted of desire/ I hold with those who favor fire."

Ice is the only thing I can imagine putting an end to our civilization. Nuclear war while catastrophic would not result in the end of human civilization, and the only other thing close to "fire" I can imagine ending the world is when the sun goes supernova, but we'll be long gone at that point. A global ice age is more likely to kill off humanity, like in AI.

Fire. Glorious, cleansing, thermonuclear fire. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Im thinking fire. either nuke fire, cuz we cant handle peace, or if we handle peace, our sun going nova fire.

a world at peace could stop an ice age, methinks.

Ice. We'll be gone before our sun goes nova.

Well I think the 'World' will end in fire, aka the sun going nova. What ever happens to end us will not end the existance of Earth. If you mean how will humanity go out, I'd say fire too. We pretty much have keeping the cold out locked down now, along with greenhouses.

Both. Fire, then ice.

Our as we know it world will die from ice, the world as a whole will die via the fire of a supernova.

It's gonna get really hot, then really cold. So fire, then ice.

There's an excellent porn movie entitled Fire & Ice. I'm not sure how that's relevant to the question but you should try to rent it at your local adult video store.

Desire = Fire.

If my le petit mort is to be memorable and worthy of the effort, it should be by fire!

We could go the "Flash Gordon" method and bombard ourselves with "hot hale"....

Which would cause a huge fire from the impact, and then the dust sent into the atmosphere will cause a lowering of temperatures across the globe, thus, ICE.

I vote fire. I can see human civilisation possibly making through an ice age.

Fire I hope. Go out with a bang! Not a whimper!

Ice. As in apathy equals....

Ice, if we don't manage to make this planet completely unliveable and die before then essentially by our own greedy hands. I am reminded of the story of Easter Island...

The Universe? Ice.

Me? Fire. Lots and lots of it. Hellfire, that is...

I'll say fire, probably from the Sun going supernova or something. If for some reason humanity is still alive , then ice.
