It won't be the last. Sun has already transitioned from a "G" type yellow dwarf star to an "F" type (white) in my lifetime. By 2036 we will be entering the final decade, and everyone will be struck with the inevitable truth of it. There will be no magnetic field to protect earth as there never was a molten iron ball generating it. There are things in the works behind the scenes that will make an effort to generate some level of protection artificially...star-link is baby steps... My guess is that faced with the facts most will chose to not be among the survivors in any case. Will likely be several miserable generations on a devastated planet. The survivors will again be the cavemen...and a few transhumanists
