The Science Thread

In my hometown, the population has gotten smaller.  Yet for miles around where I grew up, forest as been replaced with houses, concrete, asphalt.  These people think they help the environment by recycling some trash, but they've destroyed all the mother nature I ever grew up with. 
 
Don't worry, the Earth will take everything back after we are all long gone.
Check out Discovery Channel's "Life After People" for some sobering views, many episodes on Youtube.

And the earth will eventually be incinerated once the sun turns into a supernova.

I better go watch a predictable sitcom before I gouge out my eyes :)

 
Andromeda is slated to intersect with the Milky Way some 1 to 1.5 billion years before the Sun creeps Red, fwiw, not exactly sure of the timing but it should be a good show!

That would be awesome to be there for! What is seen in the sky will look a lot different then!

Haha. :P
But to my own credit, I've loved the 'Planet Earth', 'Life', and 'Human Planet' type shows/series.  From what I saw of Cosmos (which, admittedly, was very little), there's too much fake animation/theoretical/what if type mumbo-jumbo.  It just didn't reel me in.
 
You might like Earth Story with Aubrey Manning, an 8 part BBC production about Earth's geology in relation to biology ( Professor Aubrey is a biologist ). Granted it's from 1998 but it still kicks donkey.

Here's episode 1 on the youtube...
