Fair enough. Well, it's substantially more than twenty million years. You might have meant to type billion (have made that mistake before meself) but then the number would be wrong. The Sun has been around five billion years and will last for another few more billion as a main sequence star after which it'll become a red giant and most likely swallow up Earth. Long before that though the surface will be so hot the planet will be unable to sustain water. We're still talking a billion years at least. Plenty of time to emigrate.
Or win the league
Can you imagine the panic if the following happened this winter
During the Great Frost of 1683–84, the worst frost recorded in England,the Thames was completely frozen for two months, with the ice reaching a thickness of 11 inches (28 cm) in London. Solid ice was reported extending for miles off the coasts of the southern North Sea (England, France and the Low Countries), causing severe problems for shipping and preventing the use of many harbours.[4] Near Manchester, the ground was frozen to 27 inches; in Somerset, to more than four feet.

I remember it well.
Four fucking days to get to Londinium for a midweek game against Weste Hamme by coach and horses,and then the game was called off,and we got waylaid by highwaymen at Ye Olde Keele Services and the bastards took our Baltie Pigeon Pies and flagons of mead,which was fucking frozen anyway,and the serving wenches all had clap so we all died of syphilis,except those who contracted typhus from drinking southern plague water and a few of us who survived by eating the horses who croaked at Sandbach coaching house.
Fucking Superbia?
Heated fucking seats?
You glory-seeking newbie twats don't know you're born...
