But will technology enable us to adapt to our transformed world? Pardon my pessimism, but given that year after year we can't even control wildfires in the west, and we'll certainly never be able to control hurricanes and tornados and droughts and floods and rising seas, I doubt it.
​
What about the enlargement of the sun? How do we fix that?

God Bless

The expansion of the sun won't affect this planet for 500 m to 1 b years. We have more immediate concerns in the next 200 years.
​
If the sun is getting bigger everyday why will it not effect the earth's temperature for 500 m + years?
​
Are you saying that the earth is not growing every day and that growth does not effect the temperature of the earth?
​
The last numbers I can find says the earth will not be able to support life after 1 billion years. That means the temperature has to be rising now. But they will rise faster as time progresses.
