LOL good sarcastic post. Global warming kills very few people. Ice age is horrible for mammals and kills millions. And ice age returns every 10-30 millenniums. Global warming ends every ice age. The Sun cycles control earth’s climate, because Sun is a million times bigger than planet earth in volume.

Whats the Minimum Number of People you Should Send in a Generational Ship to Proxima Centauri? They can't possibly build a space ship big enough to hold all the current America's enemies domestic.

A planetoid with tunnels, caverns, farms and factories, hospitals and academies; all safely beneath the surface. A world unto itself.
A very tightly controlled society broken into for or so exogamous clans but all subject, of necessity, to restrictions on childbearing and employment.

Hopefully including at least one that knows the difference between "effected" and "affected." : )

Barak Obama and Hillary!
They deserve each other.
Heck, I’d even throw in Schumer and Pelousy
just for grins.

This is hetero normative, and binary, in their assessment of sexual ratios, sexual reproduction, etc. What if there are disproportionate numbers of gay peoples or transsexual peoples who will be axed out of the reproductive cycles? Not a problem; they can be useful in other ways...
In the Soylent Green sense...

Send along a supply of frozen ova and sperm. Takes care of genetic diversity along with radiation injury to crew gametes.
That’s the technological solution, not the Christian one.

It will happen. Once a big chunk of humanity is living that way every day within rocks orbiting the sun, pushing one of those towards a nearby star system will be relatively simple.

Why hold back? Send ALL of the freeloaders at the UN, they can start their New World as they see fit, as far away as possible from the rest of us.

One could introduce greater genetic diversity by sending along frozen embryos and stocking the ship mainly with Female breeders.

In 1968 Freeman Dyson calculated that there “Momentum Limited” spacecraft using atomic pulse propulsion could reach Alpha Centauri in 133 years.
“The biggest design above is the “super” Orion design; at 8 million tonnes, it could easily be a city.[12] In interviews, the designers contemplated the large ship as a possible interstellar ark. This extreme design could be built with materials and techniques that could be obtained in 1958 or were anticipated to be available shortly after.”

Humans on earth will become extinct within a million years having endured 100 ice ages by then,...A little learning is dangerous thing...
Current science has established that real Ice Ages recurrence is in the realm of hundreds of millions of years.
So that statement is ignorant to the point of meaninglessness...
But it does concur with the current idiot "Climate Change" hysterics.
Just sayin'

While I love science fiction after 6,300 years, you’ll have a ship full of dead people.
No way society and education would not deteriorate in that situation.
Heck, we can’t even keep things going well for 200 years on a whole planet.
