In a brief monologue, Dennis Prager critiques a University of Bristol computer‑simulation study that projects a mass extinction of mammals in about 250 million years, with surface temperatures ranging from 104 °F to 158 °F. Prager treats the projection as a parody, questioning the relevance of such distant forecasts for present‑day policy. He argues that acting on this prediction would damage Western economies and push Africans into poverty, and he points out that the study’s calculations omit greenhouse‑gas emissions, which would actually accelerate the timeline.

Computer simulations suggest our planet will face a mass extinction that wipes out all mammals, University of Bristol experts report. Any life form still alive on Earth Day by this time would have to cope with temperatures of between 104 degrees and 158 degrees. My sense is it's a parody, it's a joke, it's, it's a stupid joke. 250 million years from now, and I am going to worry about it today. I am going to wreck the economies of the Western world. I'm going to Africans into poverty because in 250 million years the temperature, according to models, will be between 104 and 150— excuse me, 158. Oh, wait a minute. Whoa, I didn't catch this part. Their calculations don't account for greenhouse gases emitted by the burning of fossil fuels and other human-caused sources, so the date of our demise will likely be even sooner than 250 million years.
