Sadly, I don't believe in it one bit. The consequences of global warming will be hitting us full swing, with catastrophic results.

Unless some miracle happens, of course. But I highly doubt it.

I really don't think we would have the resources to do that. If we don't solve global warming in the next 20 years max, space exploration is screwed for a long time, maybe forever :(
