A study published in Nature Geoscience suggests that the formation of the next supercontinent in approximately 250 million years could lead to hot climatic conditions that surpass the physiological limitations of mammals. This could render most of Earth's surface uninhabitable for mammals. The study proposes that all land will collide into a supercontinent, causing warming that pushes mammals to extinction. The model predicts that mammals, including humans, may have only 250 million years left on Earth before the planet becomes too hot for their survival. The study highlights the potential impact of global warming on mammal populations in the distant future.
