-150 C - haha that's the temperature of Europa, a moon of Jupiter

[dusteki]

So even if the Sun died, we wouldn't have this sort of 'temperature' or a 'blizzard'.

It's actually not so hard or absurd to think that you can reach such a temperature. The coldest scientifically measured and obtained temperature is -95,6 °C (with absence of clouds, calm of wind, sufficient number of days without interference of maritime currents), then you don't take into account that the presence of the wind decreases the temperature even more and Europa has only a weak atmosphere of O2. Maybe you're right 150 maybe it's too much, maybe, but I think if a cataclysm of ice and snow happened, 130 you could get it without any problems.

We have to loose the atmosphere for having such temperatures. Its the same nonsense as thinking the people would live on the surface and not in mines where it would be a lot warmer :D

[Deggo]

But surely we will have automatons?

Wind would be heating up the temperature via friction.

Without sun we would go easily colder that -150 C. That is not even very cold. Europa and Jupiter are that cold as those are that far away from sun. Without sun only heat we would get would be from center of our planet's molten core.

This astronomer speculate Earth would experience temperatures of -198 C in just 4 months after sun disappeared.

Temperature of deep space is -270 C and that is Earth would be after our molten core start to power down. That can take a while but eventually Earth would reach that -270 C as it have travel in deep space few billion years.

But in one thing you are right. Earth would not have blizzards very long if sun disappears. As our atmosphere would liquified and pour down. No gaseous atmosphere, no blizzards.

So what you are saying is, if we get rid of the sun I can drink the sky? Boys get me my sunbuster!

Yes would could drink the sky if you would not frozen on that -210 C and lower temperatures were it start to happen. You don't even need to wait for out sun to die. You can order a bottle of liquid oxygen and nitrogen fairly cheaply and drink all you want. I would say half a litre of both would be life time supply for everyone.
