The researchers created a simulation of Earth that factored in variables that described the climate as well as geological and biological processes, and most importantly, the activity of the sun.
The simulation shows that as the sun grew hotter, 1 billion years from now, releasing more energy, carbon dioxide levels in Earth's atmosphere will begin to drop due to the gas absorbing the heat and breaking down. In a warmer climate, increased chemical weathering rates will capture oxygen and carbon in rocks like limestone . At the same rate, the uppermost layer of the atmosphere absorbs more energy from the sun.
We’ll be extinct in a quarter of that time
RemindMe_OfThis in 1 billion years.
Please RemindMe_OfThis in 1000000000 years.
RemindMe_OfThis in 1 billion years
RemindMe_OfThis in one billion years
Up to god
Ecologists, scientists, and people who love to breathe need to implement more efforts at alternatives to fossil fuel consumption. Help expand the timeline of Earth's breathable oxygen, please.
RemindMe_OfThis a billion years
It's time to start panicking.
OldTakesExposed
What!
So upsetting for my great grand children times hundreds of millions. We better do something.
HakeemWilkins THEORIES!
Oh my. So soon? 😒. Plant some trees or something.
'Only'.
lmao the earths only 10000 years old and Jesus pulling up soon anyway
No worries -- Humans will have found multiple planets to live on before then.
I hope I will be dead by then.
Oh good, I think I’ll be away then...
A billion years? I’m good...
✍🏻 OldTakesExposed
“Only”
That's a LOT more than John Kerry was giving us.
Thank fuck
Thanks, I'll be up all night worrying now
Sweet .... no need to have electric fkn cars then!!!
RemindMe_OfThis 1 billion years
That's like a centenarian living 10 Million times. Who gives a fuck?
*only
Wow. Should I be worried.
This tweet won’t age well I guess
A billion years, oh no! ...oh wait, I thought you said a million. Thank God for that
No problem
Only
Oh my god this is terrible what are my kids gonna do
Only a billion huh, lmfao
lol because the planet was never an ice cube or a lava pit
billion years, oxygen won't be a problem.
Oh. Really? And hope each year is 365 billion days and each day is 24 billion hours & each hour is 60 billion minutes $ each minute is 60 billion seconds. I am fine with that.
'only'. Hey Forbes, way to try to manipulate people into not caring about the environment now because the earth, according to your people, will 'last only another billion years'. Greedy people are the reason our planet has been so thrashed over the last 100 years.
Better call Greta!
Only a billion? Well, shit, better start the oxygen scrubbers now.
Good to know I was thinking about leaving
I'll be in Creative Mode by then
I'll probably be dead by then. This is now my grandkids problem
I think we have plenty of time to come up with a backup plan 😉
RemindMe_OfThis in a billion years please
Glad we are worried about that smh
Oh no, only a billion years?!?!!?
See, you can throw out anything. Literally a billion years from now, nobody will be pointing to this tweet lol
OMFG....whew... thank you Forbes I can sleep soundly
Darn, only another billion years
A tad more than the 9 years John Kerry said we had to live
Only that's a lot of years
Just barely enough before anxiety kicks in.
if only the ozone layer could last that long
God damn global warming! We only have a billion years left! 😱
Y'all don't know anything 😂 we ain't gnna be here another 20 years
Thank you for this information
On a cosmic time scale a billion years is nothing either become multi planetary or ppl have in cosmic terms a short time left & seeing as we have no evidence of intelligent life on other planets(tho I feel there is)there’s a chance intelligent life dies with us & that makes me :(
The title is misleading. 'Only' a billion years is pretty much an eternity to humans. We can't fathom how long that really is. clickbait
a billion years - 'only' - if ya'll think a billion years isn't enough for us - then ya'll selfish.
We care because....?
Can u send me a calendar reminder?
Only a billion?
So you’re saying we have time?
Fuck
RemindMe_OfThis 1 billion years
OldTakesExposed this gonna be a freezing cold take
I’m ok with this timeline
RemindMe_OfThis 1 billion years
Dang man.
OldTakesExposed
OldTakesExposed We’ll see.
Don’t let progressives know. Now we’ll have to start conserving breaths
So I’ll be dead in a billion years? Fantastic!
Oh no! Better bring the plants inside then.
That’s much more than enough!
I will be very old by then.
Oh no, I will die just one day before it happens!
Lies
Environmentalists should love it !
And now you've jinxed it
No problem we still get big time to fuck
Mars will be ready for us to go in by then😁
ohno
Do something about this AOC !
OldTakesExposed
first thought is that we have a billion years..and that humanity will solve that problem..and then i look at the chaos involving climate change between nations..and then i correct myself , and say ah..well its been good [sighs] :(
Stop giving birth then just fuck and cum out
Sure. I’m so worried that a billion years from now, I won’t be able to breath.
It’s a small comfort to know that this is all bullshit and that one day there will be no record of human existence. Happy Friday.
Try telling that to the climate alarmists!! John Kerry-Biden’s ‘Climate Tsar’ has things falling apart in just 9 years-but not perhaps if he can fly around the world enough times in his private jet to save us all. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Kerryman!!
Shame it won't run out in the next week or do.
No surprises. This is the life of Earth mentioned in Hindu Holy books. Likewise the correct distance between SUN & Earth is mentioned in Hanuman Chalisa.
But the climate will get you long before that?
That’s long enough for me.
FUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK DUDE
Should I be worried?
Only? I wish my salary would start with b. Journalists go back to school
I’ll be dead by then!! Just stop having kids so they don’t have to die from loss of oxygen🤷🏻♀️
Earth is like 4.5 billion years old. If we compress that down to 1 calendar year (365 days, or 31,536,000 seconds), Homo sapiens have only existed in the very last second of that “year.”
Thank u for this info sir. I will cancel my plans
The earth has had 20.95% of oxygen in its atmosphere for as long as we have been measuring it and it hasn’t changed even with population explosion and deforestation, our planet has many problems but based on this I don’t think lack of oxygen is one of them.
The day after XRP Moons. DAMN IT
If a billion was “only” then why do u hate billionaires
Just cool because I wont be there
😐😐😐😐😐
Wow. I hope my pizza gets here in time.
Oh we’ll completely destroy it well before then!
You see, that Greta kid with the sulky face was right all along
I did my research and I must confess, no one handles business like you do sir gigsfrid it my privilege to work with you.
Phew, I thought we'd 'had it', there, for a moment.
I can wait
Cool
Ngwanu we dey til then
That's ok. GretaThunberg will be gone by then.
Not sure we will have a manned mission to Mars by then, looking grim
We need more CO2 and more plants! They turn it into oxygen!!
John Kerry said we only have 9. Moot 🤷🏻♂️
But, but, but Mah Climate change?
Wait I thought we only had nine years? Or was it 12? Now we have 1 billion? I’m gonna need to stock up on ibuprofen...🤗
I'm gonna save this tweet and check after billion years. Thank you!
Dont worry about Covid, we will disappear anyway...
People can't even predict the weather and I am supposed to believe this shit? Hahahaha
What? We'll still be here reincarnating!
That's more than enough for humans if bio weapons would allow humanity last another 100 years.
😳🥴🥴🥴
