Well...
You and I (the collective we) won't be around.
But there will still be humans on the planet earth.
Humans are harder to kill than cockroaches.

This isn't a hard problem.
The earth is moving about 30 km/s. Impacts from asteroids are in the 10 km/s to 60 km/s range.
If we launch a 10 ton steel disk (a large flat washer) and hit an asteroid at 60 km/s relative velocity this would alter its orbit.
A giant washer with an EMDrive is all you would need.
Changing Orbit
If you hit it at the point opposite in the orbit from where it might impact earth you can shift the orbit at the potential impact point up or down relative to the sun.

I doubt I'd be alarmed if I was alive at that time......our technology might be advanced by that point. Or at least enough to nudge it off course. I'd also say we'll have new forms of propulsion by then as well.
