CONCERNED scientists have revealed how we can prevent the human race from being wiped out and it involves either changing our planets orbit or uploading ourselves into machines.
In around 500 million years, scientists believe that the Suns expansion will leave our planet completely uninhabitable, with conditions so unforgiving that the Earth will return to being the scorched, lifeless lump of rock it once was.
However, there is still hope for Earths future inhabitants, as researchers claim there are extreme measures we may be able to go to in humanitys hour of need.
Columbia University astrophysicists Michael Hahn and Daniel Wolf Savin explain how life on Earth will slowly begin to decline in an essay entitled How to Survive Doomsday.
Assuming that humanity can avoid a self-inflicted nuclear apocalypse or a deadly asteroid strike, our species has less than 500 million years left on the planet.
However, before were wiped out for good, our distant descendants may be able to save the species by physically moving Earths orbit.
If we fired a 100km wide asteroid on an elliptical orbit that passed close to the Earth every 5,000 years, we could slowly gravitationally nudge the planets orbit farther away from the sun, provided that we dont accidentally hit the Earth, the scientists responsible for the prediction wrote.

I’ve always enjoyed a bit of sci fi.
The key point is that global warming due to man made CO2 will infect the sun with cooties thus dooming us all. I need to start packing. Disaster is just around the corner. Start early and avoid the long lines.
“Meanwhile, the forecast for tomorrow is sunlight in the morning followed by darkness in the evening. Viewers are asked to check back in the morning for the latest developments.”
The likelihood I'm going to be alive then is ZERO, so DILLIGAFF?
Do I Look Like I Give A Flying F**K???

At least these “scientists” indict the sun rather than capitalism for their global warming theory.
Had they been paying attention these past 7 years, Obama has already stopped the sea level from rising as promised. But then, their scenario has us dried up and even scorched.
Most paperback sci-fi writers’ creations are more probable than this.
