Researchers have warned that Earth mayexperience a future so extreme that no living thingwill be able to survive. The event known as "the day of complete destruction" could make the Earthtotallydead. But why exactly do expertsargue this will happen and how soon could it happen?

BristolUniversityresearchersbelieve Earth's finaldestruction could be 250 million years away. Advancedcomputermodelsallowus to forecast the planet'sfuture.Thestudyshowed thatlifeonEarthwillbecomeimpossiblegiven rising temperatures, scarcity of water, and extreme events.

At that time, the Earth's temperature is expected to hit a scorching 70°C, solivingwould be impossible for animals, people, and plants. Thisresearchwasreleased in Nature Geoscience in 2023.

What is Pangaea Ultima?

The continents of Earth are graduallyshifting. Allthecontinentswill join in 250 million years tocreate one huge landmass knownas Pangaea Ultima,accordingtoexperts. Earth's climate will be even moreharshasaresultofthisnewsupercontinent.

Alexander Farnsworth, the lead scientist in this study, explained that with twice thecarbon dioxide levels we have now, heatstroke would killpeople. He added that over 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide could be released into the air, making life impossible.

Small,habitableregionsmayexist at the northern and southern borders of Pangaea Ultima, according to experts. But these areasmight not be sufficient to sustain life as we arefamiliar.

Is this similar to the extinction of dinosaurs?

Yes, scientists believe this situation mirrors the extinction event that wiped out dinosaurs 66 million years ago.Thosedayssawdrastic environmental shiftsrendering Earth unsuitable for manylife forms.

What can we do?

While the timeline for this catastrophe is far in the future, the rate at which humans are adding carbon to the atmosphere could bring smaller disasters much sooner. These alertsbringtomind the need to limit contamination and preserve our world.

The future of Earth depends on the choices we make today.
