My theroy starts here :<br>
I think that our sun now, used to be a planet just like ours, that eventually burned up, and now is in the process earth will be doing. The moon as well used to be a earthlike, went through their fire, and now has cooled down. I'm thinking that the next closest planet, we will inhabit one day, where we will start civilization on there.
(Ours will catch a hellish fire and be the sun for the new planet.)
Did I make sense ? Comment back, you know i'm a B.A.

WOW, so many holes in this theory...where to start?
Alright, first... global warming will not make the Earth all fiery like the sun. I COULD, however render our planet similar to Venus, whose extremely dense atmosphere traps heat on the planet and renders it uninhabitable.
Secondly - the sun is not a planet, was never a planet. It is a ball of hydrogen and helium burning in a massive fusion reaction, not a spinning ball of iron, oxygen, silicon, magnesium, nickel and sulfur.
Before the sun "burns out" it is expected to become a red giant. This could happen in about
five billion years. When this happens, the Sun will grow to engulf the current orbits of some of the solar system's inner planets, including Earth. However, the gravitational pull of the Sun will have weakened by then due to its loss of mass, and all planets but Mercury will escape to a wider orbit. That said, Earth's biosphere will be destroyed as the Sun gets brighter while its hydrogen supply becomes depleted. The extra solar energy will cause the oceans to evaporate to space, causing Earth's atmosphere to become temporarily similar to that of Venus, before the atmosphere is also lost.
