A recent study by scientists at the University of Bristol has predicted that the Earth will become a “ball of fire” in around 250 million years, making it uninhabitable for most large animal species, including humans.
The research suggests that extreme temperatures caused by massive volcanic eruptions will lead to the end of all life on Earth. The new supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, formed through violent tectonic activities, will trap heat and amplify the greenhouse effect, causing a drastic surge in global temperatures.
According to Dr. Alexander Farnsworth, the study’s leader, the impact of Pangea Ultima on the planet’s climate will be severe. The supercontinent’s massive size will reduce the cooling effects of oceans, leading to a 92% increase in Earth’s surface temperature. This would make only a few coastal regions habitable for life.
To survive this scenario, humans may need to evolve or develop technology that can counteract the extreme temperatures. Some experts suggest building underground cities to avoid scorching surface temperatures, similar to how desert animals have adapted.
While doomsday scenarios often overlap with religious prophecies, scientists are taking a more scientific approach to understanding Earth’s future. As the study highlights, the fate of our planet is closely tied to geological processes that we can’t fully control.
