I disagree. We are destroying our own habitat for greed.I don't think we can ever degrade the Earth so badly that other planets become realistic options.
Human life on other planets is an insurance policy against cosmic events, nothing more.
Will the planet die? Nope but it will become largely uninhabitable for us. I do think we will survive in some form for a long time but business as usual is simply not possible.
Hell we are going to run out of freshwater within our grandkids lifetimes. (Some say our lifetimes but I'm trying to be optimistic about technological advances.)
