And which in turn I also acknowledge and sustain are impeding our positive evolution. I must admit this assimilation along with bio-engineering or genetics offer much promise in prolonging health , well being and life. Above all it in conjunction with venturing into space now appears to offer the best hope for our continued survival as a species albeit a different one
In five hundred years, mankind will inhabit another world. However, it will still be what use to be called Earth, but they will have another name for it in deference for what use to be called Earth. Is this where climate change and ecological destruction is headed? Very likely scenario, more so that colonizing anything exoplanet.

Given our huge population and its impact on the natural world and the legacy of poisons, chemicals and other nefarious substances we have bequeathed the Earth, I seriously doubt that much of Earth will remain hospitable to human life in five hundred years . I see it now as a race between our technology and its ability to either create special hardy/tough humans and/or artificial environments either here or somewhere else that allows humans to survive -and- our inexorable and continuous negative impact on the world culminating in a inhospitable planet for most life.

They're is a reason they are called mass extinctions--Because many life forms could NOT survive on Earth during those times

By spreading the greenery as fast as the climate changes we would be providing niches for future animal migration, and with our technology we could also move viable populations of animals to the newly grown green belts as needed.
Instead we spend all our time whining about how politicians in every country everywhere won't do anything to 'stop global warming'. I guess it is true, whining is a heck of a lot easier than being proactive.

How many of you understand this?
