Is FORTRAN still in use ? ...Yep.

Re: Planetary C02 makes Oxygen
According to FORTRAN analysis,
the Sun will break down all the
Atmospheric C02, leading to
Oxygen levels below 1% of
current values...
Timeline ? A billion years...
According to researchers, Earth’s atmosphere will eventually revert to this ancient state, becoming low in oxygen and rich in methane once again. Scientists also predict this transformation will happen before our planet loses its surface water due to increased solar radiation, making the planet uninhabitable for humans and most other complex life forms
Since life was totally anaerobic 2.7 billion years ago when cyanobacteria evolved, it is believed that oxygen acted as a poison and wiped out much of anaerobic life, creating an extinction event. It has proved to be a difficult task for researchers to estimate the specific lineages that disappeared, due to lack of concrete fossil evidence and difficulty in estimating the species loss. However, conditions were ripe for the next big step in evolution: aerobic metabolism.
