Um, it has already been scientifically confirmed.....so yes, it is clearly a fact at this point....

SIX 6,400-WATT LAMPS at the top of each tower create the famous moonlight glow. They've gone from carbon-arc to incandescent to mercury vapor over the years. The technology has changed, but the romance of th emoolight glow has stayed the same.

where did i say that man would be gone due to their own actions? the fact is i didnt. however you and your like have said that. there are many ways man can perish from this earth, but i believe that humanity will survive this planet and move out into the galaxy.

there are many species that went extinct because they acted on instinct and hunted themselves and their prey into extinction, because they could not or did not adapt to their environment. man on the other hand has the capability to adapt, and the intelligence to manage our environment.

I believe you said it in the line I put in bold for you to read....

however the planet will be devoid of life long before that. as the sun grows in size, the earth will face true global warming, caused by the sun, and in about 2 billion years the earth will be completely unlivable even to the hardiest of life forms, as there will be no water of any kind on the planet.

and of course liberals will blame man for the sun destroying the earth.
Not sure why that would be something you would argue that you didn't say....most people are willing to accept the fact that the human race probably won't exist long enough to be around when the sun becomes a red dwarf.....though I guess you could say you weren't being specific with that comment...
