The combination of extreme heat, high humidity, and limited resources would likely lead to a mass extinction event.
In the future, extreme temperatures, ranging from 104°F to 158°F (40°C to 70°C), would be deadly for most mammals, including humans. Our bodies wouldn’t be able to sweat effectively enough to cool down, leading to heatstroke and death.
A new study by the University of Bristol paints a grim picture of Earth’s future, predicting a mass extinction event in roughly 250 million years. This die-off, however, wouldn’t be caused by human activity as we know it today.
