Supercomputer Delivers Chilling Forecast for Humanity’s Future on Earth

Supercomputer makes worrying prediction for how long humans will survive on  Earth - News - UNILAD Tech

A powerful supercomputer has delivered a sobering prediction about the long-term future of humanity on Earth.

According to a recent study conducted by scientists at the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom, a climate simulation suggests there will come a time when humans can no longer survive on our planet.

Fortunately, there's no need for immediate panic. The forecast extends far into the future—millions of years from now—long after the current human population will be gone.

Using advanced modeling, the supercomputer predicts that extreme global warming will eventually lead Earth’s continents to merge into a new supercontinent called Pangea Ultima.

This future version of Earth is expected to be unbearably hot and dry, with frequent volcanic eruptions. These conditions would make the planet uninhabitable for most life forms, including mammals and humans.

The simulation estimates this apocalyptic scenario will unfold approximately 250 million years from now.

Dr. Alexander Farnsworth, lead author of the study and senior research associate at the University of Bristol, explained:

“The newly formed supercontinent would create a triple threat: the effects of continentality, a hotter sun, and increased atmospheric CO2. These combined factors would dramatically raise global temperatures.”

“The result would be an overwhelmingly hostile environment, with little to no access to food or water for mammals. Temperatures ranging from 40 to 50°C (104 to 122°F), along with even more extreme daily highs and oppressive humidity, would prevent humans and other species from regulating body heat through sweating—ultimately leading to their extinction.”

Dr. Eunice Lo, a climate change and health expert at the University of Bristol, emphasized that while these predictions concern the distant future, we must not lose sight of the present climate crisis:

“Although a completely uninhabitable Earth is still 250 million years away, we are already seeing extreme heat events today that threaten human health.”

“This highlights the urgent need to reach net-zero emissions as quickly as possible.”

Following a year where 2024 set new global temperature records, experts warn that without immediate action, the consequences of climate change—such as extreme weather—could become a reality much sooner than these long-term projections suggest.
