One way or another we'll be long gone before that happens.

A few billion years and the sun will start to expand anyway

I will go out later today and stock up on candles, bottled water, Mars Bars and a few oxygen cylinders......

i can't find anything about this but from what I read on here there is a fixed or reasonably fixed amount of atmosphere and thats it? and this regular leaking will remove all the atmosphere in millions of years time? So its no atmosphere or a red giant or a large asteroid - well it doesn't have to be that large really or perhaps a black hole the, the range for earth's destruction seems limitless.

Tree's give out oxygen don't they? So stop cutting them down and plant more.

Yes we need more trees. The Amazon forest is being lost at an alarming rate, it can go from rain forest to cattle ranch in 10 days. We need to, far from inviting immigration and upping the developed countries numbers, even though the powers that be keep telling us we'll have shortage of workers and the old people are going to cause so many problems even though I see people in their eighties still hale and hearty and working and how can we have a shortage of workers when we have little in the way of manufacturing and what we have is generally automated and becoming more so by the day soon hardly anyone will have a job or will have to job share and eat on alternate days. Less people more resources to let everyone have a decent life style, less damage to the environment and the other species we share this lump of rock with.

We should take a lesson from the animal kingdom, which many people are convinced we aren't part of, when resources are few there's either a die off, or most animals won't breed that season, its a pity humans can produce so easily, bit of a design flaw there, once every five years would be ample or maybe seven like the Vulcans.

it's been escaping since we first got an atmosphere. Without our magnetic field the solar wind would have stripped it away far quicker.
there is a finite amount of helium on the planet, I am pretty sure we cannot manufacture it. When it's gone it's gone for good. The kids party business will be finished.

Helium has more important uses , it is a coolant in MRI scanners for exampleFlap Zappa wrote:it's been escaping since we first got an atmosphere. Without our magnetic field the solar wind would have stripped it away far quicker.
