In 4.5 billion years, the sun will begin the fusion of iron.
At this time, the sun will become a red dwarf, swelling in size, and swallowing the earth.
Or at least, burning us to a crisp.
Even a built-in apocalypse conclusion!
We actually have only have 0.5 billion years left before the earth becomes uninhabitable for life.
I think this is relevant, because evolution thus doesn't have that much time left. Sure, 0.5 billion years ago there were no real land-dwellers, but still. As a layperson, I'm sceptical that evolution could create a spacefaring species in that timespan again.
I leave you with the wisdom of the late great philosopher, George Carlin:

TLDW: The Earth wanted plastic. The Earth made Humans. Now that the Earth has plastic, it doesn't need Humans!

Oh look, an internet edgelord.
Is this you?
Oh no, disagreement on lemmy! Quick, call them tankie while ignoring actual tankies!
Posting climate denial without context is still climate denial and those dictatorships have to deal with the reality of climate change mid-term as well.
Framing opposition to climate denial as red-auth is naive.
If you think that George Carlin was promoting climate denial then you're really uninformed.
Here is a reddit thread I found that discusses the nuance of his take, which was cinically that the earth will endure. It would gladly be rid of us and we won't leave a trace. Ie we can fix it or we can ignore it, until nature solves the problem. US. We're the problem.

Unless we could escape the Sun before then!
Like if we flew away in a rocket.
Like if we invested in NASA!?
-edit-
And by funding NASA, you mean defying our lord and savior? THE SUN?!?!? /S
Yes. We can already build simple rockets. We just need to encode more data in similar ways.
