The geologist Peter Ward and the astronomer Donald Brownlee wrote the book "The Life and Death of Planet Earth". The central theme of this work is how new science traces the ultimate fate of the world.
According to the authors, this study has no sensationalism or exaggeration, as it is based on science. Perhaps at this moment you may be wondering what the world will be like in several years.
Ward and Brownlee mention that the new Ice Age will come within a dozen thousand years. In this stage, humans will live in a colder and drier world, without forests or jungles. In addition, finding food will be complicated and humans will die.
After 250 million years, when the continents come back together, there will be very hot summers. Plants and animals will gradually become extinct, but the last survivors will be the beings that live in the sea.
