The end is not nigh: Earth ‘has 3bn years left’

Life on Earth will continue for up to 3bn years but humans will die out far sooner, scientists say.

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

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