We got a hundred years to stock up on sunscreen.

Nah. Temperature is NOT heat. It is heat divided by mass. A very low-density cloud could be amazingly hot, yet generate very little heat.

I blame it on Global Warming.

Remind me to worry about this, say, 90 years from now.

And just how will this affect radiant waves to the earth?

Don’t confuse temperature with heat. A million degrees describes the mean kinetic energy of the particles. But there are few particles, very far apart (with very high velocities) that can’t impart much heat to anything.
Reminds me of the fooraw when we passed through the tail of Haley’s Comet- lots of doom predicted, still a very thin gas.

“We’re doomed.”
Nope, we pay Giant Hot Molecular Gas Cloud credits to Algor and we’ll be safe.

This will not affect earth much. The Sun frequently travels through interstellar gas as it orbits the galaxy. There might be a slight rise in cosmic radiation.

Does this mean there are SUVs out beyond the solar system?

Well over my level of sub-ether comms here but I was just trying to understand. Thanks. :^)

Oh great, something ELSE to worry about. Not to worry, not to worry. Except for the constant whooshing sound for the next 10,000 years, you won't notice a thing ;^)
