"The Future: A Supercontinent Formation Threatens Mammals' Existence"

TL;DR Summary
A modeling study predicts that in 250 million years, a supercontinent called Pangea Ultima will form, resulting in extreme temperatures that will make the new landmass uninhabitable for mammals, including humans. The study suggests that increased volcanism and a hotter sun will lead to drastic temperature increases, creating a hostile environment devoid of food and water sources. Only a small portion of the supercontinent's land mass is expected to remain habitable. The findings highlight the potential impact of natural processes on Earth's climate in the distant future and the limitations of mammalian adaptation to extreme heat.
