The Earth will be a dead planet far, far sooner than that. Probably less than 600 million years.
Other biochemistry based study suggest life has the capacity to evolve to sirvive in condition to be expected during much of earth's remaining existence before the sun turn red giant. Some life will still be here in 3 billion years.
But higher multicellular life probably won't survive more than half billion years unless it is through technology and wholesale geoengineering.
