Reserve your property now!

This is estimated to happen some 7B years from now, but life doesn't have that long to figure out how to get off this rock. The sun's luminosity increase will lower CO2 levels such that all plants will be extinct less than 1B years from now; animals can kiss their asses goodbye. The oceans are also predicted to boil off around the 1B mark. Any life at that point would be very rudimentary.
