What are these chicken littles going to do when they find out the sun will turn into eventually turn into a red giant and swell up to the size of Mars' orbit and the earth will be vaporized?

See? Now I am glad I bought that extra pair of long underwear.
This guy is a loon. If the world is going to destroy itself because of global warming then I see no reason why we cannot drill in ANWR or create more nuke plants so we can have cheaper energy in our last days.
A fun read for this type of thing.

I read an article that says at that time, while Earth will be fried, the moons of Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune will be at Earthlike temperatures. Would be interesting to see if we are still around then what we'd do with those worlds.
I rather doubt that the earth will be vaporized when that happens. For one, we should have the capability to move planets - at least very slowly - before the millennium is out. So, as long as human civilization is still around the earth should survive. More significantly, it's now thought that the gravitational fluctuations of the sun as it approaches red giant stage will move the earth further out in any event, far enough out that it won't get vaporized.
