   Not any time in the foreseeable future. The people making these   
   predictions tend to fudge data to present the worst-case scenario and   
   fail to take into account technological progress.  I do scoff and laugh   
   quite a bit at the environmentalists, and for good reason.   
      
   With respect to Steven Hawking, in the long run the earth certainly is   
   doomed and it is probably a good idea to get off this rock. However   
   unless we are hit by an asteroid or manage to touch off a world-wide   
   atomic war I don't see anything likely to make the earth uninhabitable   
   within 100 years.
