Impending Mass Extinction: Extreme Heat and Supercontinent Threaten Mammals and Humans

A new study warns that a mass extinction event could occur in approximately 250 million years due to extreme heat caused by the formation of a supercontinent. The research predicts that the combination of a hotter sun, increased CO2 levels, and continental effects will create a hostile environment, making it uninhabitable for nearly all mammals, including humans. The study emphasizes the importance of considering landmass layouts when evaluating the habitability of exoplanets and highlights the need to address the current climate crisis to prevent heat-related health issues.
