Start here:
Humanity is an arrogant and self destructive species, the chance that we survive after we've caused the apocalypse is very unlikely.

Thanks for the reply and the link.
The research team does not sound so pessimistic though, quote:
"However, the scientists point out that the worst-case scenarios are by no means inevitable, and suggest that appropriate policy and structural changes could avoid collapse, if not pave the way toward a more stable civilisation."
While I think that humanity is awesome and becoming better all the time, you see humans as a self destructive species.
IMO, the fall of the Roman Empire was rather a transformative event (if you can call it an event because it took decades) and less a "destructive" event like e.g. the Black Death.
