Does anyone know how long humans will be on Earth?
Warning: very dark topic, not for the faint of heart!
We are the first generation to know that the human race will probably not last forever. We are damaging the planet, and the Earth will be okay when we’re gone, but we won’t be okay unless we change.
We can save the planet, but if we choose not to, the planet will still be okay only because we’ll be gone—it sounds so dark, but it’s true. Are there predictions for how long humans will live on Earth?
I other words, nobody knows.

The interesting thing about us humans is that we are pretty good at adapting to our environmnts. Even if climate change kills off most of the human population there's a chance that the survivors will learn to adapt to the extreme weather and find ways to still survive.
It might be better than nuking ourselves to death in my opinion. Of course I could be wrong.
Oh and millions of years from now the sun will grow large enough to swallow mercury, venus, earth, and mars. Nothing will survive that, so yeah. Sooner or later our entire planet will be destroyed.

That is true. Just about every religion believes in some form of an apocalypse. I think hunans have known since the beginning that our world wasn't going to last forever.

When I was 4 or 5, my family told me that Armageddon would come before I started kindergarten and then before other occasions after that.
During the Cold War, many people thought that they would be the last humans on Earth, as there was a constant risk of all out nuclear war. In the early 1960s (Cuba missile crisis), it was common for people to build a shelter so that they could feel that they would have a chance to survive. Since so much time has passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall, we no longer tend to feel that it will be another nation that kills us off in an act of war, but Mother Nature itself.

Even apart from those specific predictions they’ve made (“false prophets”), they still constantly teach that it’s right around the corner and could come any day now.
Lots of America JWs who had left returned right after 9/11 because they thought that that was the start.
I actually hate blackouts. I have kind of a phobia of that.
That joke he played on us was pretty clever though.
"Lord of Light protect us! For the night is dark and full of terrors!"

Who once said "The world will not end with a bang, but with a whimper"?

12 years, according to Al Gore.
Oh wait.
I think he said that 6? years ago?

Ah, it’s beginning to sound like a broken record. The same message over and over again. It’s as if these folks don’t pay attention to history.
The United Nations has once again issued another dire climate change report (SR15, see it here) claiming we must act before it’s too late. Summary here. In the meantime, the audit of faulty climate data suggests the rush to judgment is unwarranted. See our WUWT story: BOMBSHELL: audit of global warming data finds it riddled with errors https://wattsupwiththat.com/2018/10/08/ ... net-again/
I am not saying I don't believe huwomanity isn't affecting the climate.
I simply have trouble embracing alarmist rhetoric that has been proven to be wrong in the past.
Well, It's been a long time coming but I will be packing up, just to be sure, and moving to Vulcan next week Tuesday.
Chip in for petrol and anyone is welcome to join me.

They just got it wrong by about 5 billion years.

If nothing else then the sun will swallow us up millions of years from now.
