Oh, very, very little, other than an aging sun or a rogue star or significant astronomical event will destroy the world. As for the thin layer of cream (or scum, depending on your point of view
) that inhabits its surface, well there is a possibility that all our books may perform a useful function in several million years as the fuel for a burgeoning new industrial age, for whatever has evolved to that "glorious" stature. I'm going to go with pandas (cause their cute, but stroppy), but with a deep-sea Giant Octopus rider (Mmm, filled with Cthulu goodness!).
