What a joke. Life on earth spends millions of years evolving until by chance it creates sentient life capable of producing a civilisation with the potential to colonise other planets, but the sun bellows into a red giant and destroys it and all evidence of it's existence.
Oh well. Easy come easy go.

These articles are fucking funny, but I think you misinterpreted them. The sun is not turning into a red giant. It can't for another billion years.
The sun becoming a red giant is the least of our problems. After all, there is a giant black hole at the centre of the milky way, and in the uber-distant future, when we collide with, their black hole will join with ours, and they will absorb each other.
I have no idea what will happen when two blackholes absorb each other, but it can't be good.

Black holes absorb eachother all the time. Nothing happens.
There's about a hundred billion stars in our galaxy, and about two hundred billion stars in Andromeda. When the two galaxies collide, scientists estimate the total number of stellar collisions to be six. SIX.
I SEE A SCIENTOLOGIST IN OUR MIDST.....DESTROY THE UNBLEIEVER...PURGE THE UNCLEAN.

Do you have a reference for that?
Not that I don't believe you; it just sounds interesting.

PROTIP: in 100 years every one of us will be dead anyway. So who the fuck cares about what happens in the 'far distant future'.
Solar warming. Is this caused by cosmic greenhouse effect

Haha, I love assholes who think the entire universe is only relevant to the span of their life.

In the time it takes this to happen we'd have made great advancements nevertheless. If the entire human race manages to die and nothing is left we can still appreciate what we have now and what we theorize might be created to presently be able to remember by our own species how significant we really are.
