We like to think of our planet as perfect for life, having met all the conditions we know of for life to exist, flourish and thrive for billions of years. You see, back when the Solar System was younger, the Sun was not just younger, but also cooler. The way a star gets its energy is from nuclear fusion in its core: burning hydrogen into helium in our Suns case. Put this all together, and we get an inescapable conclusion: as a star ages and burns through more and more of its fuel, it gives off ever increasing amounts of energy! Global warming will destroy life on Earth in the end: not just human life, but all life on the planet's surface, including in the seas. A billion or two years from now, long before the Sun becomes a red giant and starts fusing helium, the temperatures on our world will rise too high for plants, animals or any creatures we know to survive. THERE IS ONLY ONE POSSIBLE SOLUTION!!!!11!!
CARBON CREDITS!1!!!111!

When helium is fused, the product is carbon.

Nope. can’t happen.
Our sun’s mass is too little to go supernova. (Sorry - No Big Bang coming.)
And it’s too little to even make a decent Betelgeuse-sized or Anctarus red giant too. Darn it!
Best guess is that the sun will cycle into a large “cool” red blob exceeding our earth’s average distance from the center of the sun and burn away everything, then gradually fade to black with a couple of iron cores rotating a cold black sphere. Not even a glamorous black hole is in our future.
Hey! The rainbow shown Noah was to show God would never flood the world again. He never said He would not burrn it up.

If I’m reading the actual science around this effect correctly, the timescale in the article is off. From what I can understand, the sun will need another 4.5 billion years to get to the point where it’s 67% more luminous than it currently is. It’s only somewhere past that point where it becomes hot enough to burn the biosphere off of the Earth.

Not going to happen. The Book of Revelation tells us that yes, God will destroy this earth as it currently is, then he will remold into how he originally intended and his children will live there with Him and He with them, for all eternity.
Global Warming had got nothing on God!

By anywhere near that time we will either be long extinct, or we’ll be a star-faring race with colonies in 1,000 or more star systems. Either way, this story doesn’t matter - and certainly not for anyone who will live in the next 1,000 generations (far longer than recorded history to date).
I’m more concerned about the Witch of Chappaqua becoming POTUS than this.

Us down here in SouthEast Texas trust the good book, and what God told Noah, but with all the rain we’ve had, and are expecting, I am not too sure of the interpretation...
/Sort of a joke, to make light of all the record levels of flood water I’m about to see flow past (and hopefully ONLY past, not through) my house.
