With Heatwaves and Climate Change becoming more and more materializing, how long do you think we have until the heat death of the universe?

I am incredibly apprehensive on the high amount of discrete greenhouse effects and carbon footprint emissions polluting the air we breathe insignificantly.
With cognitive nuclear power plant and refineries in fossil fuels, I feel we'll be all dead in a few weeks.
Climate change on Earth has nothing to do with the heat death of the universe
That (if it happens) is trillions of years in the future
Yes, the climate on Earth is heading in a bad direction at the moment driven largely by human activity, but we will not all be dead in a few weeks
That (if it happens) is trillions of years in the future
I think the big problem with that is our universe is like that apple Newton saw falling.
With the apple, Newton saw it hit the ground and stop. Because of vastly different timespans, we'll never see the apple hit the ground. From our perspective it's either accelerating to terminal velocity (and we'd think it would always accelerate) or it's reached terminal velocity (and we'd think the speed is constant).
If we could see the even larger picture past that, we'd see that we're not the only apple falling, and there's more both on the ground and in the tree. Also that there's a shit ton of other apple trees.
Our universe isn't special, even if it's unique.
Leading theory is when two planes collide, it creates a universe with random physics, that exists for a while, and then is essentially gone.
There's a bunch of those "planes" (2d, not airplanes) out there in the nothingness. As far as any of us can tell, they don't have a shelf life and will keep on creating universes.
Our universe dying doesn't mean the end of everything. Just one of many fireworks fading away in what looks like an empty sky.
"Trillions of years" is a blink of an eye on some timescales.
I give it an hour, tops. Wish we could have gotten to know each other better OP, but imma sit on my porch and have an ice cream sandwich and wait for it all to blow.
LMAO. Seriously, thanks. That is comedy gold.
All matter and energy in the universe reaching thermal equilibrium? I'd say a VERY long time mate
????
lol what??
They are completely unrelated
