What, in order, are the events most likely to wipe out life on Earth starting with the closest possi

This is a simple exercise in disaster daydreaming. We always hear that this or that will eventually "wipe out life on Earth", but in what order should we fear these events? For instance, should we fear an asteroid impact or the sun turning into a red giant, first? What would a complete timeline of risk look like?

First you need to refine your question. Only the sun going nova will wipe out LIFE on earth.

Human activities are already proving that we can make the future very unpleasant if not fatal to OUR species. Is this your real question?

The sun going nova in 5 to 7 billion years is immaterial if humans don't survive the next 100.

The first and most logical is human error. With nuclear experiments and messing with genomes...we'll screw it up somehow before a force of nature does. Maybe a plague of some sort that spreads so quickly we can't stop it....like bird flu.
