For now, life is flourishing on our oxygen-rich planet, but Earth
wasn't always that way – and scientists have predicted that, in the
future, the atmosphere will revert back to one that's rich in methane
and low in oxygen.
This probably won't happen for another billion years or so. But when
the change comes, it's going to happen fairly rapidly, according to
research published in 2021.

But wait...........don't start prepping for that yet. We'll be gone
way before then, because Pangaea Ultima is coming much sooner. ------------------------------------------------
A new supercomputer simulation has given scientists a glimpse into
Earth’s distant future—a world where a superheated supercontinent
could drive mammals, including humans, to extinction.
The research, led by the University of Bristol, predicts that in 250
million years, Earth’s landmasses will merge into a new supercontinent
called Pangaea Ultima. This colossal landmass, likely to form near the
equator, will experience extreme temperatures, suffocating humidity,
and increased volcanic activity, making most of the planet
uninhabitable for mammals.

Theory don't mean squat if it don't work.
