Genesis 6:3(NIV)
Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
Psalm 90:10 (New International Version)10 The length of our days is seventy years-or eighty, if we have the strength;
yet their span is but trouble and sorrow,
for they quickly pass, and we fly away

There are places in the Old Testament where is says that a man lived 120 years, 400 years, 600 years, and in the case of Methuselah, 900 years. Modern Biblical scholarship holds that this was a reference to the accumulation of their wisdom as opposed to the average man - not a precise reference to their age.
forever, because jesus died on the cross for us. So we go to heaven, and we can live forever with God. (this is in God's opinion)

"If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, man would have only four years left to live"
In the beginning, mankind was meant to live forever. When Jehovah God told Adam about the Tree of Knowledge, He brought out that he would die...but only if he partook of it. (Genesis 2:16-17) Therefore, if he didn't eat from it, no death. Add that to the fact that Jehovah "put eternity" in man's heart, meaning that we have the innate desire to live forever. (Ecclesiastes 3:11) Adam and Eve chose the wrong path however, and that's when imperfection (which brings death) was introduced to the rest of us. (Romans 5:12 & 14) Thanks to Jesus' sacrifice however, if one exercises faith in it they'll be able to attain eternal life in the future. (John 3:16; Romans 5:18) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
Man can not say how long he will live but The Bible in Psalms say that mans life is three score and a half. That is seventy years, and the rest of the years are a bonus.

Man can not say how long he will live but The Bible in Psalms say that mans life is three score and a half. That is seventy years, and the rest of the years are a bonus.
If they exercise faith in the ransom of Jesus (Jehovah God's son), people are able to live eternally. (John 3:16) This is part of Jehovah's original purpose for the Earth, which will be fulfilled in the future. (Psalms 37:11 & 29) This also explains why Jehovah "put eternity" in the hearts of people-He created them to live forever originally. When Adam and Eve sinned, they became imperfect. After that they had children, which could only be imperfect just like them. (Romans 5:12 & 14) However, thanks to Jesus giving his life, he was able to get mankind another chance to have what they lost-eternal life. (Romans 5:18) (New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)

It simply does not say this in the Bible.
The Bible was written at a time when everyone tried to live within their environment. The Bible doesn't say anything about the connection between what man does and the Weather. If someone tells you that it does, have them show you, in your Bible, book, chapter and verse.
