The two most likely apocalypse would be a nuclear war or a biological mishap or misstep. Stop and think, nuclear weapons have been here 60 years, used twice, tested dozens of times, multiple players and much strife. Statistically, much more likely.
Most likely cause: Bad journalism (see above) or what masquerades as such these days.
People are so frightened of being killed by an apocalyptic event, or a spectacular terrorist attack, but they will probably die in a car accident, choking on cheezy poofs, or a sudden aneurism while trying to take a dump.
What about thinking to ban the daily permanentely XD. You make an excellent job to post war posts to us, but honestely that newspaper is really bad at contents quality...
Raffaele .... I love the Daily Mail's gossip section
We cannot be serious all the time.

How "humanity" dies is less interesting to me than how I might (or will, rather) die. My death is a certainty, the death of humanity less so.
War News, if you put that way I got nothing to contest :)
