Well according to other stuff I have seen, the Milkyway galaxy will collide with the andrometer galaxy in server hundred million years and then some part of the andrometer galaxy may do work on the upper atmosphere and blow it and earth away.

There will be no upper atmosphere to cool. Oh well...

upper atmosphere is always cooling

and heating (including the other mechanisms mentioned in link below)

drchaos.net

If the cooling processes are predominant over the heating processes, overall cooling results. It's physics we learn in high school here.

In the link I mentioned, Raymond Roble and Robert Dickinson theorize higher CO2 levels will overall cool the Thermosphere.

There seems to be some substance in the prediction.
