Mass Extinction Predicted: Extreme Heat Likely To Wipe Out Humans and Mammals in “Triple Whammy” [in 250M years]
Mass Extinction Predicted: Extreme Heat Likely To Wipe Out Humans and Mammals in “Triple Whammy” [in 250M years]
A study predicts a mass extinction of mammals in 250 million years due to extreme heat from the formation of a supercontinent. The research highlights the lethal combination of a hotter sun, increased CO2, and continental effects, underscoring the importance of landmass layouts in evaluating the hab
Mammals haven't evolved to handle higher mean temps because we haven't had any higher mean temps.
Pretty sure we'll be fine if we manage to address the short term issue of the natural warming timeline being accelerated... evolution can deal with the warming, but it's a generational process, and the accelerated rate probably doesn't allow for enough generations.
