I was forced to calculate the black body temperature and radiation for the Earth, back in college by hand.

I decided for fun to zero out the sun from the equation to see what would happen.

My math came out to about -32°C average surface temperature.

Earth would become an ice planet.

I think you'd uh, need a bit more than a sweater in those conditions 😅

People live in those temperatures in places like remote Russia, right?

It's sweaters all the way down. You have time to order from China shipped by boat before -32C happens. You're just being a "save the sun" hippy climate alarmist /s. Energy company shareholders would benefit from high demand, so saving the sun is just selfish of you :P

I'm just imagining you shuffling out wearing six layers of different colored sweaters on the frozen tundra surface, lmao

I still like Bill Cosby. Fortunate that my mom always thought I should like sweaters and gifted me some.

We're for the jobs the fossil fuels will provide.

So.

The Antarctic. Roughly. Everywhere. Including the equator cuz that’s not a thing anymore.

Are there any places that would be “warm” for any reason if you recall?

Like, I assume the oceans would survive until the core stops and the planet truly dies?

… so yes, the oceans could remain warm enough to harbor life still.

Throw in a "rawr :3" while you're at it
