Reading the news "Earth has been given another billion years." The gist is that there was previously an estimate that in 150 million years, all the oceans would evaporate and Earth would become a lifeless desert. Now, these French scientists have refined the calculations, and such an outcome is likely to occur in a billion years. Comments: --Thank you, of course, I was very worried about how to live on. --Good thing the water will start evaporating from the planet not in 150 million years, but in a billion. Otherwise, I was wondering whether to dig a swimming pool or not? --It will take 10 years to divide up the remnants of Russia. --And why French scientists, not British?
