You may want to read up on what happens when our Sun becomes a Red
Giant. The world won't be recovering from that. It's only a
matter of time - about 5 billion years.
Actuakky, as I implied a few days ago, scientists believe the
world will become inhabitable in 1 billion years or a bit after.
The reason is because the Sun is gradually heating up as it
consumes its fuel, and is already around 30% more luminous than
it was when it first formed. For the time being, the biosphere
is able to regulate the Earth's temperature, but eventually that
capacity will be exceeded. At that point, the oceans will
vaporise, and Earth could become a second Venus.
Ahhhh yes, I missed that part on the first reading. Very true,
and that will certainly be an interesting time the last few
centuries that humans can stand the temperatures. And here we are
complaining about a little "global warming"... ;-)
