    climate change will force humans to leave Earth

    climate change will force humans to leave Earth

    We will all perish soon

    Dear Mr Cable
    Thank you for funding our climate change research with the needed £26,000,000. Please find attached a copy of our latest press release.

    Yours sincerely

    East Anglia University



    Life on Earth will continue for up to three billion years but humans will die out far sooner, scientists have said.

    Researchers say our planet’s increasing proximity to the sun will eventually result in soaring temperatures, the seas drying up and the extinction of all life.

    According to a study by East Anglia University in Norwich man-made climate change will make human life impossible long before this happens and our best chance of survival would be to move to another planet — with Mars being the most suitable option.

    Even if that happens, surely Earth would STILL be less inhospitable than other known planets so we should 'colonise' our own planet.

      About time the selfish human f*(*kers died out and left the planet to a more intelligent species.

          increasing proximity
          How confusing.

            Complete alarmist bilge.

            I noticed back in the summer that some Independent hack regurgitated all that crap about parts of western Europe becoming desertified within 20 years if we don't mend our ways and build more wind turbines. This was about 3 days into the heat wave.

            If I'd been on another planet for the last 20 years and I'd come back to the uk this year I'd have found this year's weather pretty typical. Long, cold winter with some snow, few weeks hot weather in the summer and a wet windy September...

              After 7 years of skipping summer and having generally crap weather..... sounds about right for the UK.

                Firstly it isn't all that hard to move the Earth, go read World out of Time by Larry Niven, we've got most of the tech to do that now, but it would not be cheap...

                The problem for the arts grad Greens is that, well, they are arts grads, they have a negative understand of basic, uncontroversial science, ie most of what they "know" is wrong.

                The Earth is in what people that do this piss for a living call an "inter glacial period", a transient phase between the two normal states of the climate, either much hotter or much colder than now. The hotter periods are by far the most common.

                Some would call what we are in now an ice age, which may surprise you given the lack of mammoth burgers in Waitrose or icebergs in the Thames, but periods where there is permanent ice on any part of the Earth are relatively unusual.

                Short version is that we are in an unstable situation that if left to itself will change anyway even if humans had never existed. Some assert that if it had not been for humans we'd be well into an ice age by now, that's not generally accepted but underlines the fact that if we want the sort of climate our pathetically short period of history (by geological standards) gets called "normal".

                Depending on your view, humans are making things worse better or not having any effect at all.

                That actually doesn't matter, because climate change is coming whether we stop burning carbon tomorrow or torch every oil well in the middle east.

                The only variable we currently have any influence (not control) over is the insulating effect of the atmosphere which is a mindlessly blunt instrument, but as a any contractor knows, bitching about the tools you are given rarely gets the job done.

                The long term game is either try to control the climate or let a mix of the piss we chuck in it and the chaotic instability of the system knock us about.

                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    So, in a brief sentence, what side of the fence are you on when it comes to the carbon industry (for want of a better term)?
