You're surely kidding.
I'm concerned about whether you're sarcastic or not.

Tarquinn stopped staring at Deedlit long enough to write:
No, I am not.
You ruined the fun little chain we had going. 
So yeah. We do need to get off this planet eventually.

Kennatsu had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
Believe it or not, we don't actually have 5 billion years. In about 2 billion the Earth's internal dynamo will cool down and the planet will end up becoming a cold, dead planet like Mars (no volcanic or tectonic activity). Sometime even sooner than that the sun will have grown so hot that living on the surface will no longer be possible. That's assuming we don't end up destroying ourselves somehow.So yeah. We do need to get off this planet eventually.
Cite sources or I finally have an excuse to eradicate you.

I think you don't quite comprehend how long 2 billion years is.
Evolution or no, we've still got a span of time to work with that is so vast it's irrelevant to our survival as a species. Even if our development slows to a thousandth what it is, by the time the sun begins to die we will either be demigods or non-existent.
I mean, I'm a bad procrastinator, but if something is going to happen in two billion years, I think we can worry about it later.

Zair had this to say about Tron:
Honestly, I can't bring myself to care what will happen in 1,000 years, let alone a million, let alone a billion.I mean, I'm a bad procrastinator, but if something is going to happen in two billion years, I think we can worry about it later.
That's what they said about the ozone layer, and look at us now.

Uh hello? The ozone layer is the OLD regulation-necessitating environmental crisis, the hole closed in it's own so we switched to global warming.
