This may be why Elon is so desperate to get us to Mars. Hopefully we have enough time.

This part I don't understand. There is plenty of desolate, currently inhospitable land right here that already has an atmosphere that we can live in. Seems like that would be the place to focus rather than taking a millenia terraforming on Mars before even basic survivable atmosphere. Just my $ 0.02.

That video is interesting. It sites morning talk shows as scientific evidence. It contridicts itself in the fact that nova produces isotopes require huge energy levels but yet to be found on Earth and produced by the Sun, these levels needed would destroy the Earth and other planets.
I also find 'boyancy' of the magnetic field used incorrectly. The nariation seems to indicate denser areas when boyamcy indicates decreased density. Things don't float by being denser than the surroundings they float in. Also, how exactly is the magnetic field of a star going to affect the nova cloud long after the star is gone by going super nova? When the generator explodes and no longer exists, the field collapses.
It also has the screwdriver paradox. When explaining how to use a screw to fasten something, you first must explain what a screw is and what a screwdriver is. This is skipped to just saying use a screwdriver to attach the screw.
Lots of Dunning-Kuger in that video.

He isn't saying that the sun goes Supernova , what he is saying is that during a repeatable period it blows the outer accretion off, which come in as tektites along with other energetic particles, much like a super Carrington event.This energy wave causes the ice ages and we are now in the prelude to the event.It might last five minutes or an hour who knows? but where you are on the Earth crafts your fate.That's why there is evidence of catastrphe in some areas but not in others.The ash rings in ice cores are a great indication. The melting on some ancient sites are another.All with a periodacy.
