Even if we don't cause our own extinction, the sun is getting hotter as it ages and in approximately 1 billion years it will have gotten hot enough to render Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.

Then, 3-4 billion years after that, it'll finish the job by most likely swallowing up 3 of the inner planets when it reaches the red giant phase of its life. Even the corpse of Earth will die.
