A recent study showed that in a few years the level of oxygen on earth will be so low that our planet will no longer be habitable for mammals and for any higher life form, only anaerobic and microbial life can develop.
This study was conducted for Kazumi Ozaki of Toho University, in Funabashi, Japan, in collaboration with Chris Reinhard of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, the United States has established that our planet will reach such low levels of oxygenation that only the archaea will live.

According to scientists, this phenomenon will occur before the climate becomes “wet” from the greenhouse effect and before the planet loses most of the water that covers it, so the earth will run out of oxygen before it runs out of water.
But when will this happen? According to the projections of young people, the oxygen levels of the earth will drop so much that they will prevent life from being possible, this over another billion years, but time may vary depending on human behavior and care for the environment.

Why will oxygen run out?
According to the experiment conducted by scientists, Sun it will continue to age with it it continues to get hotter and hotter to the point where plants cannot liveWithout them, oxygen production will stop working and life on Earth will then become unsustainable.
To reach these conclusions, the men who were part of a project of GODMOTHER on habitability on planets, used a model of climate, biological and geological systems that allowed them to make a projection of how climatic conditions will change on our planet.

With this study it was established that the presence of oxygen, which makes a habitable planet, it is variable and not always constantTherefore, even if a planet has had ideal conditions for life or presents them in the future, it does not mean that it is a permanent condition.
This appears in the context of speculation that at some point the planet Mars could host water, it is said, could create favorable conditions for the shelter of life, however, so far there is no conclusive evidence that living things ever existed on the Red Planet.
But with this new study, the possibility has reopened that at some point there will be ideal conditions that no longer exist on Mars for the planet to host life, for now we will have to wait and see how scientific studies progress to confirm or discard. theory.
