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.
