Hopefully the Earth does get some rights so we can stop destroying it.Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms to which all *humans* are entitled to; planets and personifications of nature don't qualify, there are laws instead that are in place to protect our environment.
Humans are entitled to rights? Hehe... good joke.
And speciesism as well... what a quaint post.

No. The sun will not go supernova. Five minutes of research into stellar evolution will do you the world of good JohnDG.
The star we orbit infact will not supernova (too small, i think?). However, it will still burn all the life here away by the end

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
