Yellowstone Super-Volcano our biggest threat?
I think that Yellowstone National Park's Caldera is the biggest threat to humanity, with the Sun at a quite point, meteors and asteroids, i have heard we know that there wont be one for 26 years or something?, the LHC not in operation, Gamma Ray Bursts not frequent enough to be dangerous, if i have missed any other please tell me, but what do you think?, i love this subject so please make it interesting.

No, not our biggest threat - not even close. You have to consider the extremely low probability that Yellowstone will have another super-eruption anytime soon as knocking it way down the list of threats.
My take on our biggest threats:
5) Global overpopulation (of humans).
4) Environmental degradation as a result of waste-production and disposal, pollution, and anthropogenic global climate change (exacerbated by overpopulation).
3) Disease - Pandemic.
2) Self-destructive behavior of humans based on extreme religious dogmas or ideologies. You could argue that extreme religious faith - regardless of the brand - is a global threat (i.e., Bronze age beliefs + 21st century weapons = bad news for society).
And of course, the number one threat:
1) BEARS!
