Scientists make shocking ‘triple whammy extinction event’ prediction set to hit Earth
A scientific study predicts a definitive end date for all mammalian life on Earth. This mass extinction, forecast for 250 million years from now, will result from a convergence of three catastrophic events.
Researchers from the University of Bristol used supercomputer simulations to model this future apocalypse. The primary driver will be the formation of a new supercontinent, dubbed ‘Pangaea Ultima’.
This geological process will trigger massive volcanic eruptions, releasing enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This will create a runaway greenhouse effect, causing global average temperatures to soar between 40°C and 50°C.
Such extreme heat would be intolerable for all mammals. The study describes this as the first blow in a “triple whammy” of extinction events.
Following this intense heat, a dramatic cooling period is expected. This sharp temperature drop would induce ischemic necrosis, essentially freezing any remaining warm-blooded life.
The combination of searing heat, a deep freeze, and a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere will render the planet completely uninhabitable. This sequence will ultimately wipe out all mammalian species.
The scientists stress that this distant prediction does not negate the immediate threat of human-caused climate change. They urge for urgent action to achieve net-zero emissions to address the current, human-induced climate crisis we face today.
