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?
