00:00Ever wondered when the end of the world might come?
00:02Scientists from the University of Bristol have done the math,
00:05and the countdown is on.
00:06But don't panic yet.
00:08We've got about 250 million years left.
00:12The reason isn't some random asteroid or alien invasion.
00:15It's us.
00:16Our relentless burning of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions
00:20are setting the stage for Earth's final act.
00:23By then, the planet will turn into a scorching oven
00:26with temperatures soaring between 104 and 158 degrees Fahrenheit.
00:32And as tectonic plates merge into a supercontinent,
00:35things will only get worse.
00:37Hotter sun, zero water, and no food.
00:40Basically, a recipe for extinction.
00:42But here's the real twist.
00:44We don't have to wait millions of years to feel the heat.
00:47Extreme temperatures are already here, wreaking havoc.
00:50The solution is to stop fossil fuels and reach net-zero emissions now.
00:55This isn't just about the distant future.
00:57It's about saving the Earth today.
