CroatiaA new study published in the scientific journal 'Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres' suggests that plant life on Earth could survive for between 1.84 and 1.87 billion more years. This extends previous estimates which predicted the end of plant life around one billion years from now. The research by planetary scientists Jacob Haqq-Misr and Eric Wolf indicates that natural evolution of the Sun, rather than human activity, is the main factor leading to the eventual extinction of plants. As the Sun ages and becomes brighter, increased solar energy will raise Earth's temperature and alter atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, both critical factors for photosynthesis. Two scenarios were modeled: one where CO2 levels drop too low for plants to survive, and another where temperatures rise to unsustainable levels. The researchers note their models do not account for potential future adaptations of plants or technological interventions by advanced civilizations. They emphasize that the long-term fate of plants will ultimately depend on the survival of Earth's oceans, which will eventually disappear due to intensified solar radiation.
Bias read (Center): The article presents a scientific study without overt ideological framing. It discusses natural processes and scientific modeling without taking a political stance. While the topic relates to environmental science, the framing remains neutral and balanced, focusing on empirical findings rather than褒
