A groundbreaking, newly released study (via Futurism), spearheaded by the University of Bristol, bears some not-so-good news: we have 250 million years (give or take) until the Earth looks less like the "pale blue dot" we all know and love and more…like Arrakis, from the Dune Universe.
That's right-the planet's land masses seem to be slowly but surely congealing into one humongous supercontinent, at least according to the data returned from the University of Bristol's high-powered climate model. Their study, formally published in the science journal Nature Geosciences, anticipates the continental merger will eventuate a globe-sized, one-continent-fits-all "Pangea Ultima."
A super-continent that will, in addition to being unfathomably large, also be unimaginably hot. How hot?
The planet's land masses seem to be slowly but surely congealing into one humongous supercontinent, referred to as Pangea Ultima.
Scorching enough to prohibit life for almost all mammalian organisms. In such an environment, it is hard not to imagine the inhabitants of Earth taking cues from the Fremen of Arrakis. And while there might not be sandworms the size of skyscrapers, the planet's carbon dioxide levels will potentially double, given the anticipated volcanic activity and widespread tectonic shifting.

Ban cars! Ban gas stoves! Ban Dishwashers! Ban pool pumps! BAN GUNS! BAN PEOPLE!
Ban commies.
I thought AOC told us we had about seven or eight years left.
Geeze...and I still have 20 payments left on my fridge!
That does it. Republicans better finally do something about climate change. They need to immediately increase funding for everything green. Oh wait…
I’m so tired of the fear porn.
In 250 Million Years, the Elites will have reserved all of the creature comforts for themselves. The rest of us will retreat underground and will evolve into brutish, mole like creatures. Eventually will go to war with them. A good science fiction movie could be made about this premise...
Ban Tectonics!!!!
“like Arrakis, from the Dune Universe.” I ain’t drinking someone else’s spit.
Hard to imagine that the hydrosphere that makes up a surface layer on the rocky crust of the earth will somehow disappear in a quarter billion years or so. The sun has a greater chance of becoming a supernova, at which time the presence of water on earth anywhere will have become moot. THAT would make the planet into an airless, truly barren, very hot rock.
By that time, of course, mankind shall have discovered a means of migrating to other star systems, and the destruction of earth will be of relatively little importance.
Uhhhhhhhhh
Actually, the ones being fed on lived with all the creature comforts of Kobe cattle and the cannibal elites lived below ground and used fear to provoke their cattle into making themselves available for food...
And, IIRC, that did take a couple of million years according to HG...
Like Sollozzo told Sonny not to lose his s**t, I’m going to use Sonny’s reply here. “Nawww... I’ll wait.”
Plate tectonics = white supremacy.
Fear porn most assuredly ... not sure why one large continent would have to be hot or barren.
News guy wept and told us
Earth was really dying
Cried so much his face was wet
Then I knew he was not lying
These GOOFY BASTARDS have nary a clue that the Earth is a SELF-SUSTAINING SELF-PERPETUATING SYSTEM,

The earth is already destroyed. Prophet Al Gore said we only had 10 years back in the 90s, ok folks?
Solution:
Big staples at tectonic plate boundaries.
