I'm sorry, but it would be easier to completely fix things after worldwide nuclear devastation than find another planet to live and send a few colonists there.

Hawking can be a freaking genius, but he often is a little off when it comes to space technology and such. I remember what he said about aliens some months ago.



You think that it would be easier  to recover if the population was reduced to near zero, all crop and food production destroyed, all the science that took 10 millenia to figure out -lost and the world reduced to a near uninhabitable state due to nuclear radiation than it would be to use all of our current and future scientific advances to colonize a new planet.

 

And you think stephen hawking is crazy because he thinks that we should fear an alien threat because any species that is capable of reaching our planet is more advanced than us and the more advanced race will always take advantage of the weaker ones, well study some history because that's every human conflict right there.
