UN experts warn of irreversible consequences of climate change on a global scale
So, according to the report of the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), most observed climate change is unprecedented, and some of them are generally irreversible in the future.
Scientists are increasingly concerned about the global weather and propose to start correcting the situation as soon as possible. And here are the main conclusions of the scientists in the report.
Main theses of the presented report
So, the first thing that specialists paid special attention to was that climate change significantly accelerates the water cycle on the planet. This provokes much stronger precipitation, which, in turn, provokes floods and even floods in some regions, while in others they cause drought.
All coastal regions will experience sea level rise throughout this century, and this will also will cause flooding in so-called low-lying areas and will contribute to soil erosion of entire areas.
A global rise in temperature will lead to accelerated melting of ice caps. It will also have a negative impact on the entire ocean ecosystem and lead to a reduction in oxygen levels.
So if the average temperature on our planet increases by only 1.5 degrees Celsius, then the so-called hot periods will become significantly longer, and the cold ones will become much shorter. And an increase of 2 degrees Celsius will be critical for both agriculture and health.
What to do next
At its core, the published report has become a rather alarming signal for all of humanity. And it is difficult to argue with the fact that large-scale emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and deforestation are leading to a rapid deterioration of the overall environmental situation.
But despite the rather grim picture painted in the document, its authors argue that all is not lost, and global climate change and its harmful effects can still be contained.
And for this it is necessary to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere around the world. However, even in the optimistic scenario (when emissions are kept to an absolute minimum), it can take up to 80 years for the global temperature to stabilize.
Of course, you and I are full of more pressing problems and somehow do not want to think about the world ecology, but our children and grandchildren still live on this Earth. Therefore, in order for future generations to get a more or less normal ecology, you need to think about it (ecology) today.
Submitted by experts report is intended, first of all, to pay close attention to the problem and begin to take active actions now, and not after a certain time.
