Supercomputer calculated when Earth will become uninhabitable

Sensational discovery: Earth may become uninhabitable in a quarter of a billion years. Researchers from the University of Bristol came to this alarming conclusion using advanced supercomputer modeling methods. The research results, published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Geoscience, point to three main factors of upcoming changes: unprecedented temperature rise, increased volcanic activity, and the formation of a new supercontinent Pangaea Ultima.

Scientists have revealed a dramatic scenario for our planet's future: continents will merge together, leading to catastrophic climate change. The temperature on Earth's surface will reach incredible values - from 40 to 70 degrees Celsius. The situation will be exacerbated by increased solar activity and large-scale volcanic eruptions releasing huge volumes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Notably, the name of the future supercontinent echoes the ancient Pangaea that existed at the dawn of Earth's history.

Alexander Farnsworth, one of the key researchers, warns of an approaching "triple hit" to the planet's climate. The formation of Pangaea Ultima will trigger a chain reaction: continentality will intensify extreme weather events, a brighter Sun will increase temperature, and elevated CO₂ concentrations will create a powerful greenhouse effect.

Of particular concern is the fact that mammals, including humans, will be practically defenseless against such heat. Despite their ability to successfully withstand cold, their natural thermoregulation mechanism - sweating - will fail to cope under conditions of extremely high temperatures and humidity, making existence practically impossible.
