"The Future: A Supercontinent's Arrival Spells Doom for Mammals"
A study published in Nature Geoscience predicts that a supercontinent called Pangea Ultima will form 250 million years from now, resulting in extreme temperatures that will make the new landmass uninhabitable for mammals, including humans. The study suggests that increased volcanism and the Sun's aging process will cause drastic temperature increases, creating a hostile environment devoid of food and water sources. Computer climate models indicate that only a small percentage of Pangea Ultima's land mass will remain habitable for mammals. The inability of mammals to adapt to extreme heat makes their survival unlikely in these conditions. This research sheds light on the potential impact of natural processes on Earth's climate in the distant future.
