Another 50,000 When will the continents be united again? 250 million years from now Analysis: Why were mammals able to survive the Triassic Extinction while dinosaurs died out? Many scientists feel that climate change is the most important issue facing the world today. If the world gets to hot, ice caps melt and flooding occurs, if it gets to cold, we could enter a new ice age. Research how scientists hope to limit climate change in the future.
