An update...

Hi Board

Later work by Lunine and Lorenz suggests that Titan might undergo a super greenhouse transition if the solar constant goes up a few percent - large amounts of methane could vaporise and increase to several bar, raising the temp to ~ 140 K or so...

So Titan might melt-down long before the Big Sun era.
