Global Warming and Cosmic Events

'It is 100% certain we will be hit by a devastating asteroid, but we are not 100% sure when,' the B612 Foundation reported in 2018. Asteroids are minor planets in the inner solar system. They vary widely in size and shape, from a meter-sized rock to a dwarf planet nearly 1,000 km across.
The sun is expected to grow so large that it will engulf the current orbits of Mercury and Venus, making the Earth uninhabitable in billions of years. Our star is currently fusing hydrogen into helium. When hydrogen fusion in its core has diminished to the point at which the sun is no longer in hydrostatic equilibrium, the density and temperature in the core will increase significantly while its outer layers expand, eventually transforming the star into a red giant.
What? A big asteroid will hit our planet at an indefinite time? A giant sun will evaporate all life on Earth in the future? You may argue that we must deal with climate change now and that we do not have time to worry about distant cosmic events.
Well, such events and global warming pose an existential threat to humanity. Perhaps they also have the same solution. How can we survive the arrival of a devastating asteroid or live without the Earth? We need great scientific discoveries and superior technologies. In other words, we need to equip people with brilliant minds. The smarter we become, the greater our chances of solving all natural and man-made crises, including global warming.
To improve our intellectual capacity in general, I propose to provide everyone with so many digital books that most people could enjoy art and science for a lifetime. All books should be free, while their copyrights must be protected.
