Elon Musk talks about how much time Earth has left and the reason he would change biology forever: "It will be incinerated"

Elon Musk often talks, because he likes to, about planet Earth and how much time it has left. The billionaire is obsessed with his travels to Mars. It's a challenge for him. In an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters, he was asked why he is so obsessed with the Red Planet. "That's one of the benefits of Mars: it's a life insurance policy for collective life. So eventually all life on Earth will be destroyed by the Sun. The Sun is gradually expanding, so at some point we will need to be a multiplanetary civilization, because the Earth will be incinerated".

The billionaire currently heads the Trump istration's Office of Government Efficiency."If, as the fossil record suggests, the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old, we have 10% of that time left before the temperature gets so hot that life is impossible," he explained.

A radical change in temperature

According to science, the life of planet Earth would already be written... In about 500 million years, the average temperature of the planet could rise from 11ºC to 30ºC and that would completely change biology.

For this reason, the SpaceX founder has long argued that humanity needs to expand its presence in the solar system, specifically to Mars, which is the most suitable and achievable target, in order not to become extinct.
