While many fear the short-term effects of climate change on our planet, the long-term effects will be even more devastating

THE climate change it affects all regions of the world. The ice in the polar regions is melting and the sea level is rising. In some regions, extreme weather events and heavy rainfall are becoming more frequent, while other regions are being tested by intense heat waves and droughts.

Therefore, the climate change continues to be one of the greatest threats to the world.

What worries people is how long it will take to eradicate climate change fully and completely her humanity.

With this question in mind, a study looked at a supercomputer to analyze various data about its climate Earth, plate tectonics, ocean chemistry and biology to find when the human race is likely to become completely incapable of inhabiting our planet. Fortunately, that’s a long way from today.

The results of the analysis were processed by a team from the University of Bristol, which he found found that the world would be very different from what it is today.

Due to the tectonic plates, the continents they would move everywhere and create a new supercontinent to be named Pangea Ultima.

Dr. Alexander Farnsworth said: “The new supercontinent would essentially create a triple whammy, involving the effect of continentality, a hotter sun and more CO2 in the atmosphere as well as rapid warming for much of the planet.

“The result is a mostly hostile environment with no food and water sources for mammals. Humans – along with many other species – would die because of their inability to expel this heat through sweat, cooling their bodies,” the researchers noted.

But there is no need to fear as this doomsday scenario is not predicted to happen in the coming years. Scientists estimate the ultimate destruction at 250 million years.

The people behind the research believe that this should still act as a warning sign for humans to deal with climate change.
