Quote:The sun won’t die for 5 billion years, so why do we have only 1 billion years left on Earth?
Quote:The Earth is a complex system – and no model is perfect. However, it seems likely that we have no more than a billion years left for life to thrive on our planet.
Because there are lots of other earth hazards and solar system hazards like meteors and comets that are very likely to cause damage way before the sun burns out. But right now at this moment in time humans seem to be our own worst enemy with pollution and lack of good resource management.
Our burning CO2 is currently our biggest and self inflicted problem. We do even if we fix that, need to work on a meteor defense system. But life even if we go extinct will go on just like it did after the dinos died. We will be out of the picture way before the sun burns out.
