I would say that we can do something about it... we can hedge our bets and we can be smarter about how we direct our efforts in the time we have. I have recently started to evangelize panbioticism and project which seek to seed the solar system/galaxy with terrestrial life. Even if humans can't become self-sustaining outside of Earth before we get wiped out by something, I believe that we can give our genetic family a chance by sending out clusters of small probes of primitive AI and primitive organisms which can maybe evolve elsewhere. Also by storing a vault of our knowledge and storage for embryos for ourselves and as many diverse species as possible. We could build that and land it on a moon outside of the radius of an expanded sun with a beacon to help it be found. Any of these things is absolutely feasible and would give life a better shot in the future.
