  It's going to be rougher even earlier than that. In a "mere" 250 million years we'll get another supercontinent, which sounds amazing but it's the sort of geological situation that lead to the destruction of most terrestrial life because all the land becomes a giant desert.
  
  I got on a geology kick one day, I came out wiser and much sadder.

    Oh sure, I am sure they weren’t saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just ‘any plants’.
