Is it not true? If it is true then it seems like a good idea to let people know, I myself didn't know about this phenomenon before and feel better informed.

If it's not true, or the danger is being far overblown then speak up here and let us know.

It is just as true as the fact that the sun will cut out and either be a black hole or red dwarf and earth will be engulfed in solar waves.

However, just like the little problem with our sun, the next <many> generations will not have to deal with it.

So it is the truth, but not the entire truth.

That's an awful lot more informative than "This reads like a scaremongering article.". Is there more information on the likely timescales?
