Joke’s on you, sun, we’ll make this planet inhospitable long before you can get us!

Well, the Sun’s going to be the thing making it inhospitable, just not due to “dying”

Remembers me of where my sis told me as a child that “the sun will explode” and we got staring at it with those cardboard glasses. It didn’t and i was disapointed. Learned later that it was meant to be sun coronae.

Joke’s on you, Sun. We can just leave. Or maybe even fix you.
(So many doomer “we’ll kill ourselves first” responses in this thread. How science of everyone.)

We can just dump some comet ice into the oceans and cool Earth off. And if it gets really bad, we’ll just get all the robots on one side of the earth and hit the gas at the right moment, thus increasing the distance from the sun.

Even if we don’t cause our own extinction, the sun is getting hotter as it ages and in approximately 1 billion years it will have gotten hot enough to render Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.
Then, 3-4 billion years after that, it’ll finish the job by most likely swallowing up 3 of the inner planets when it reaches the red giant phase of its life. Even the corpse of Earth will die.
