But that’s only a fraction of what the sun is truly capable of.Besides the ever-present rain of UV radiation and occasional flare-up of even deadlier radiation, the other weapon the sun can wield is time. Slow, inexorable time. The problem is that the sun is slowly getting hotter and brighter as it ages. To live, the sun must fuse hydrogen in its core, with each reaction emitting just a tiny bit of energy.
As it brightens and our oceans dry up, the out-of-control feedback loop begins. The oceans won’t be able to lubricate the mechanisms of plate tectonics, and our crust will lock in place. Without plate tectonics, carbon won’t be pulled out of the atmosphere. It will simply pile and pile on top of itself, building thick layers of atmosphere.. Life may cling to some miserable existence in some shadowed region, but the prospects are slim.
If we’re lucky, our atmosphere will blow away, and our crust and mantle will melt from the intense heat.
