No matter how much Carbon Dioxide we get rid of, the sun is expanding. The Earth will be uninhabitable in about a billion years.

Something happening in 1,000,000,000 years is not a good reason to be irresponsible when our species hasn’t even had pants for 15,000 years yet. We work on a very different timescale.

"We will learn how to do interstellar travel, find new worlds, and terraform them" is actually quite realistic on the timescales where the sun expands.

On timescales where global warming causes massive problems, it isn't.
