Astronomer Royal and a world leader in cosmology, Sir Martin is known for not reaching conclusions hastily. Even if he is right, our species may have a much better than even chance of surviving the century. It might survive on Earth in uncivilised, Stone Age conditions. It might survive in extraterrestrial colonies. Still, he does give us rather strong reasons for setting up those colonies. --Boundary_(ID_rABHQFiQ541EE77t+Bqrfw)
