As a kid I thought we would all get taken out when the sun goes red giant, but the other day I learned that life on earth will die out long before that. Once the mid ocean ridges are above water, water will no longer get subducted into the mantle, putting an end to plate tectonics which depends on water for lubrication, and the atmosphere will be wiped out by solar wind.
