Problem 1 - It cannot be both a "giant" and a "dwarf".
Problem 2 - No one cares.

I cared... which is why I moved it. It is no longer a risk to the planet.
I do wish you would keep up with the times!

We'd know about it by now. Its gravitation effects would have been
discovered in the outer planets' orbits.

The rest of the OP is pseudoscientific balderdash.

So the word "giant" is basically a meaningless scare-word, just like the
rest of your post.

Yeah, right. If it's coming, there's not a thing we can do about it.

While you painted scary pictures of lava and shifting tectonic plates
and a lot of other nonsense, you ignored real effects: if there were a
brown dwarf in any kind of nearby orbit, it would have affected the
orbits of planets in our solar system and we'd have deduced its
existence by now.
