It remains only 200 years for the humanity to escape Earth?

Stephen Hawking warned that humanity has just 200 years to escape Earth and said that Donald Trump has taken 'the most serious, and wrong, decision on climate change this world has seen'.

It's true.

'Would the last person to leave please close the door''.

Mankind will undoubtedly have destroyed themselves well before the 200 year deadline thus providing the opportunity for the ants to run the planet.

Side: It's true.

we can speculate, and though it hasn't happened yet, I see possibilities of this happening.. , however speculation doesn't necessarily have to come out to be true..

Side: It's true.

honestly speaking, I haven't seen any argument of yours which does not involve the word "left" or "progressive" seriously, is that all that you know?

The Fear Mongering by the Left is nothing more than speculation !

first, I have not answered for the left, but answered it as an individual.

200 years down the line? what can we do if not speculate?

are you telling you have a precise answer for what's going to happen after 200 years?

I would not be at all surprised. Our current way of living is unsustainable and Trump's withdrawal from the Paris agreement means that a country with a major environmental impact is refusing to be responsible for that impact.

Developing countries are likely to be very resentful at the USA not being part of the agreement when they are expected to be.

As long as we have climate change deniers in positions of power, or we fail to take enough action to protect our environment, humanity's clock is ticking.

Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord is an impact on the environment as you see it. Now was the earth safer because Obama signed up for the Paris Accord ? Obama and those on the Left push the false narrative that is Global Chaos so to drive their base. Just one question for you to answer did Obama not burn fossil fuel to get to Paris ? Can government fix the environment through taxation ? Do you want to live by candlelight and get your heat from a wood burning stove ? You leftist are so unaware of what is taking place around you !

Just one question for you to answer did Obama not burn fossil fuel to get to Paris ?

Of course he did. Most people take planes and it's the only sensible way to get from the USA to France. However one plane journey is quite a small drop in the ocean when you think about the number of flights at any one time.

Can government fix the environment through taxation ?

Perhaps. I don't make any pretences to be an economist or an environmentalist. But reducing the amount of damage we're causing is surely worth a small increase in taxes.

Do you want to live by candlelight and get your heat from a wood burning stove ?

That isn't what the Paris Accord is telling us to do, so you've made a fallacy here.

Trump pulling out of the Paris Accord is an impact on the environment as you see it.

Back to the dispute at hand. Yes, Trump can only be president for a maximum of 8 years but he could do a lot of damage in that time. For example, removing restrictions on polluting factories could have harmful consequences for the American people who live near them, increasing cases of cancer and heart and lung disease. Pollution can cause acid rain which could harm the beautiful National Parks which the Americans treasure. Your water could end up polluted; you may well find more places than Flint lose clean drinking water. Trump is concerned with corporations and profit, and if something rakes in more money then it's quite likely he'll trample all over the environment in order to get that money.

It's probably true.

Luckily I'll be dead long before then. Of course I'd like my kids to survive, but they're smart and have their whole lives ahead of them. Probably they'll just invent the Star Ship Enterprise and fly off to get some action from green alien women in fur bikinis.

Thanks. Actually odds are by the time they're old enough to know what's really going on the majority of you conservatives will be dead from old age. So life for them will probably be pretty good.

I don't think it lucky to die long before it occurs. I believe that we all have previous lives and next lives because humanity has consciousness. When a life ceases, his consciousness will be transferred to another living organism which will be his afterlife and......

Climate change predictions always seem to be wrong, and skewed toward the alarmist view (source 1). However let us for a moment entertain the idea that this time frame of 200 years is accurate.

I'm very skeptical that humanity is incapable of innovating a solution in this period given the rate of our technological progress in recent years. As we learn more our rate of scientific advancement is increasing exponentially, providing the means for a solution. In addition, there is a clear impetus for sustainable energy, providing the motive for a remedy. The fact that we have both the means and motivation to produce efficient sustainable energy will eventually lead to it's actualization.

Doom and Gloom !!! The environment is dying and i am here from the government how can i help. As the Left believes if a Supposed Environmentalist as Obama is just by signing a piece of paper he could heal the planet. Problem with that is the past president is jetting around the world burning fossil fuel. The minions on the Left want to believe that their hero leaders believe in the nonsense they are fed when quite the opposite is true.

Stephen Hawkin has very little time to escape Earth, and when he does he is going to wish he was back on it because he's going to wake up in the fire of Hell unable to get out......unless he gets saved of course, but he probably won't according to his own words.

Humanity needs to be concerned about not ending up in the fire of Hell. Escaping Earth will not keep them out of Hell.
