Ever ponder the end of the world? Science has the solution.
In the future, most mammals—including humans—would perish at temperatures between 104°F and 158°F (40°C and 70°C).
Without adequate sweating, our bodies couldn't cool down, which may result in heatstroke or even death.
Mass extinctions are prone to occur when scarce resources, intense heat, and excessive humidity combine.
What experts predict will happen when the world ends The University of Bristol's latest research predicts a massive extinction event in about 250 million years, painting a dire picture of Earth's future.
But modern human activity would not be the cause of this die-off.
Intentionally, the study ignored the extra heat produced by human activity, such as burning fossil fuels.
This implies that the real extinction event might happen far faster than 250 million years from now.
As temperatures rise, some scientists predict that by 2200, or 182 years from now, the world will be completely barren. A white paper written for the National Academy of Sciences made this claim.
They think we should start making preparations for extraterrestrial life. Asteroid strikes, pandemics, global warming, nuclear winter, and artificial intelligence are all potential endgames for humanity.
Even though this extinction catastrophe is not highly likely, the research serves as a reminder of how delicately Earth's climate is balanced.
Over time, natural processes are a concern even in the absence of emissions from fossil fuels.People must exercise greater caution, though, to prevent it from happening sooner.
