      Well, that depends on what we do today. 🙂 The climate is changing and will keep changing but it is up to humans to decide whether it changes for the better or not. In a thousand years, humans may be living on Mars and other planets, as well as Earth, so it is fun to think about that. And humans will have changed to, as we keep evolving, just like other animals. So it is interesting to think how we might end up and where.

      Hi Mattia, That all depends on how humans treat the Earth. The Earth has natural cycles where it can get hotter or colder but humans are believed to have accelerated these changes. That could mean that in 1000 years the Earth is much hotter or it might be a lot colder. Some of the places where humans live e.g. Africa, may become un-inhabitable because they are too hot! : -)

      The Earth won’t really change in 1,000 years, but the atmosphere, the weather, and its surface temperature might, particularly as a consequence of humans being here.
