Climate change study puts expiration date on all mammals

Unprecedented global warming will wipe out all mammals during a mass extinction event in about 250 million years, according to a new study.

The world’s continents are predicted to eventually merge once again to form an ultra-hot, dry and largely uninhabitable supercontinent called Pangea Ultima, said the climate change research, published on Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience.

Climate change that takes place over millennia differs from the man-made climate crisis which has been largely caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

Supercomputer simulations of the distant future were used by scientists that included those from the University of Bristol to project how global temperatures are set to further increase as the sun becomes brighter and emits more energy.

The movement of the Earth’s tectonic plates is also expected to result in the formation of another supercontinent, which could spark more frequent volcanic eruptions to produce huge releases of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, further warming the planet, researchers said.

Wait, wait, did they say 250 million years from now? This is quite possibly the most climate cult thing I’ve seen in all the years I’ve been watching the issue. Seriously, was there any need whatsoever to link the current climate crisis (scam) to something 250 million years from now? Any need to airdrop the talking point about burning of fossil fuels?

Life survived and thrived when Pangea was around back 230 million years ago, and, yes, they think it was mostly confined to the edges. Such was natural processes. No need to involved witchcraft into this 250 million years from now.

‘Plastic air pollution’: Microplastics in clouds could be exacerbating climate change, study says

The presence of tiny plastics in clouds risks the contamination of ‘everything we eat and drink’, researchers say.

Microplastics have been discovered in clouds, where scientists say they could be contributing to climate change.

Researchers found several types of polymers and rubber in the water in cloud water surrounding Mount Fuji, Japan’s biggest mountain, and Mount ?yama.

Their study, published in the journal Environmental Chemical Letters, joins a growing body of evidence showing that plastic pollution has infiltrated most ecosystems on Earth.

Mircroplastics are a real environmental issue, there was no need to drag the climate cult into it.
