Definitely sounds like a potent 'Apocalypse is coming and/or happening now' RP set-up that I would be happy to join if I weren't new to this site. There are only a couple of problems I have with it, however:
1. Surely there would be technology that survives the atmospheric roasting? And for that matter, shouldn't technology 4,000,000,000 years in the future be capable of so much more than the technology we have now to the point where it can protect a whole planet from over-heating? It took us less than a tenth of a millionth of the time above to go from discovering electricity to space exploration. However, the plot point of all the technology degenerating could be used to greater effect if this is taken into consideration, and even if this isn't addressed, I would still be interested in how this whole situation plays out.
2. The title. Technically it's grammatically correct, but it's just a minor gripe of mine.
Apologies if this sounds too harsh, I'm still getting the hang of the tone around here, and I come from communities in which the above content is considered to be ideal.
