So now there's solar warming. If we can't get to Mars, a billion years from now, we're all screwed. Mean time, tanning booths will go out of business, Epicurians will win the argument with Stoics and there'll be Bacchanalian orgies all around, and Copper Tan stock will go through the roof. Hurry up, Elon;D

Mars and all the other planets in our solar system have the same sun. How will going to any of them help?

I’ve looked at this. Mars will be as hot as Mercury.

You need to go further out.

Maybe Ganymede would be habitable.

No kidding. These people pushing it, and people brainwashed to it, are idiots.

Will eating crickets, giving up what left of my liberty, or living in a pod do anything to help slow this at all? What if I change my Facebook profile to a picture of the Earth?

I’ll be 1,000,000,062 by then. I guess there’s no sense in mowin’ my lawn anymore. Maybe i should just get busy on my bucket list.

Maybe if we all just pay more taxes then we’ll be saved?

In about a half a billion years the sun’s luminosity will increase to the point where life on earth cannot survive. (Check your homowner’s insurance policy to see if a rider for that is included.) In another 4.5 billion years after that, the Sun will be come a red giant and consume the Earth, which will already be toast by then.

One of the reasons for humans to develop intragalactic travel before the Earth becomes toast is to find and be able to move to an Earth-sized planet suitably orbiting a star that has a similar size and age to our Sun today, and is in a nice neighborhood, away from black holes and soon-to-become supernovas.

Oh, and it’s likely the people moving to the new planet will need to have Galactic Van Lines ship along the oxygen from the Earth to unload in the new planet’s atmosphere. That is unless the planet already has photosynthetic lifeforms that have converted CO2 to O2. Depositing some of Earth’s photosynthetic organisms in the oceans of the new planet ahead of time might take a couple billion years or more to produce the needed oxygen.

Dealing with any current tenants of the planet is a separate issue.

It’s called “The Solar Cycle.”

It’s far more accurate than any of their garbage-in/garbage-out digital “Climate Models,” but up until now they have ignored it because it doesn’t give them the answer they want; global warming.

They must have found a way to fudge the data.

I smell another “hockey stick.”

Paging Michael Mann.

A billion years might sound like a long time, but it’ll be here before we know it.

Watch for plummeting real estate prices along American coastlines in a few billion years.

I remember reading years ago that they expected this in 5 billion years, so this new information is very disturbing.

According to this calculations – which have been made possible by advanced mathematical models powered by supercomputers -, survival on planet Earth will be impossible in about 1 billion years, when conditions become too extreme for life as we know it.


or not......................... got to watch the decimal points.
