I would love the earth and it's people to go on forever. That is a much more pleasing thought.
I really couldn't care less if humanity is still around 100000 years from now.
Edit: unless they find a way to bring me back from the dead. Because I think I might be dead 100000 years from now.
Originally posted by Great King RatThe way he's prattling on you'd think they were going to flick a switch on the sun in the next few weeks and turn it off. If we are still around by the time the sun runs out of gas it will be the least of our worries. The human race will be long gone to other parts of the galaxy if we are around that long. It's alright Vespin the sun ain't going to explode before you become a grandpappy. You have my word on that.
Yes, if we can't find a way to leave earth than at some point in the distant, distant future we will cease to exist.
You know the sun will be a reliable source of energy for 100s of millions of years at least and possibly a few billion, right? Not really something to worry about, I'd say.

[b]I don't want it to be true. I guess I must be an exception to your thinking.

What do you think will halt population growth at 9 billion? Or was it 10 billion? That's quite a difference.
It's not what I think. It's what scientists ...[text shortened]... e 2020s and that world population will peak below 9 billion by 2050 followed by a long decline."[/b]
Why would I 😕

Are you saying you think I want this holocaust to happen because I want to see the world burn?
Why do you think there have been so many doomsday/last day scenarios predicted over the years?

I also like the possible explanation that was mentioned in the article which says that doomsday predictions simplify life.
You certainly wouldn't be the first one to find the idea of a doomsday appealing.

It is well known that doomsday scenarios are appealing to people, you are babbling about the end of humanity and all that, I'm simply wondering if you are just one of those people who finds the idea of the end of the world appealing.
You even seem to use the idea of a doomsday scenario as an excuse to "live for today".
