…after humans have made it uninhabitable – which will be a lot sooner.

It big time will destroy the Earth one day, but human life will have largely moved to other planets when this happens. By “one day” we are literally talking about millions of years from now.

Aren’t you optimistic that we won’t do it ourselves.

Don’t know, don’t care. So many other things to attend to in this life.

Not if I can get my plans straight.
Wait, I’ve said too much…

It’ll boil away the oceans long before we need to worry about that.

New York times is spam. They don’t hire anyone that reached a grade school understanding of STEM fields. Can predict they will take a story, change context, and spin it out with an irrational storytelling flair. Click mill.

The Daily Mail once posted an article claiming “The missing link between crocodiles and modern day whales has been found”.
The Sun once called Super Mario “Malky Mario”.
My point is, journalists often don’t know what the fk they’re talking about.

I guess if your definition of destroy is that it is engulfed by the red giant sun, different predictions all along have said we can’t be sure. So this is suggesting every scientist thought it would thus the “big discovery” of maybe not. There have been predictions of maybe not all long. If your definition is just habitability then yes earth will be quite uninhabitable but that would have already been the case for a few billion years prior. By time the sun goes red giant the earth will be a lifeless rock so if engulfed or not doesn’t matter too much.

Does it really matter? The human species and future human-like species will be long gone (probably long extinct), maybe even from natural causes.

We’ll probably starlift it, and also move Earth as needed.
The solar system will likely be kept artificially going until the end of the universe.
