Evacuate? To where? There is nowhere else to go, within a reachable distance. Venus is uninhabitable, and Mars is very high-maintenance, even if we had the technology to terraform things like in the movies. Besides, Mars is only about a quarter of the Earth's size. So outside the solar system then? Too bad it'll take thousands of years to get anywhere. I love sci-fi, astronomy and technology and dreaming about the stars, but space travel and interstellar colonization is a pipe dream. If at all physically possible in the first place, the human race will never achieve that. No, we're going to have to make it here I'm afraid.
