It is estimated that all eukaryotic life will die out due to carbon dioxide starvation. Only prokaryotes will remain.

In the book The Life and Death of Planet Earth, authors Peter D. Ward and Donald Brownlee state that some animal life may be able to survive in the oceans. Eventually, however, all multicellular life will die out. [83] The first sea animals to go extinct will be large fish, followed by small fish and then, finally, invertebrates. [80]

The book discusses Earth's future and eventual demise as it is ultimately destroyed by a warming and expanding Sun.The Earth's lifespan is compared to that of a living being, pointing out that the systems which keep it habitable will gradually break down one by one, like the organs in an aging human body.
In the absence of a magnetic field, charged particles from the Sun will deplete the atmosphere and further increase the Earth's temperature to an average of around 420 K (147 °C, 296 °F) in 2.8 billion years, causing the last remaining life on Earth to die out. This is the most extreme instance of a climate-caused extinction event.
Turns out 780,000 years is over double the time Earth usually takes between flips. Mitchell: In the past 65 million years since the last mass extinction there have been reversals roughly every ...

Nuclear war is an often-predicted cause of the extinction of humankind. [1]Human extinction or omnicide is the hypothetical end of the human species, either by population decline due to extraneous natural causes, such as an asteroid impact or large-scale volcanism, or via anthropogenic destruction (self-extinction), for example by sub-replacement fertility.
