I don't think I will loose any sleep over this issue.
This ruined my weekend. I've got so much to do now, and so little time.
Alternate article title: "CAUTION: Scientists with a calculator!"
This is pure B-S. In the last 15 years, we were told that the sun would burn out some 4 billion years from now. Now scientists are theorizing that, in double that time, we'll be swallowed by Apollos & Helios.
Which is it? Will earth freeze or burn up?
More evidence why scientists should never predict the future, either with next year's hurricane forecast nor looking forward a few billion years.
Folly. Pure Folly.

If Heff is still alive ..there's always hope.
"and the atmosphere will become laden with water vapour, which (like carbon dioxide) is a very effective greenhouse gas."
Now they're gonna start talking water sequestration...

Hot and wet. Where's the down side to this

There is a place in Viet Nam where it gets 45 C and enough humidity that human beings cannot survive even naked in the shade.

Dunno which school you went to, but we were always taught that before the sun snuffs out, it goes red, and swallows those planets closest to it before shrinking again.
Something that's readily observable, rather than hypothesis.

We should just to back to when everything was made of earth, air, fire and water.... and heavier objects fell faster.

45 °C = 113 °F
And it's not a dry heat.

(visions of Hudson in Aliens as the squad descended into the steaming reactor facility when some said that it was hot as "H" in here)
Yeah, man, but it's a dry heat!

You got the lat/long for that place? I'll have to program it into my car's GPS as one of those no-go zones. . .

I was just going to say, "oh heck no..." but you beat me to the punch. Punch mixed in that awesome gas-powered blender. Oddly enough, last Friday I was waiting for my haircut, and they had a Northern Tool catalog in the shop. I saw that drink mixer and thought, "I have to have one." My next thought was, "I wonder what oil it requires..."
