Climatologist named the timing of the world catastrophe due to global warming
The climatologist named the timing of a global catastrophe that can occur if appropriate measures are not taken in time. According to associate professor of the Agrotechnological Academy Vladimir Ryabov, if global warming is not slowed down, then in 100 years the level of the World Ocean may rise by five meters, which will lead to a new great migration of peoples, RIA Novosti reports. ocean will flood about 30% of the land area, and the most densely populated areas will be under water.
Ryabov also believes that a significant rise in the level of the World Ocean will occur by 2050. These are the data of special calculations. At the same time, climate change by only a few degrees will lead to such global changes that it will be very difficult to adapt to them.
These threatening prospects will become reality if all countries in the world do not reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Humanity is capable of postponing a sharp rise in the level of the World Ocean by several hundred years, the climatologist noted.
Earlier it was reported that the Swedish mountain Kebnekaise became two meters lower due to warming. Regular measurements of its height began in 1968. Then it reached 2120 meters. Since then, the mountain's height has fluctuated due to many factors, including rainfall. But since the 1990s, a downward trend has become apparent.
It was also said that seven billion tons of water fell on Greenland in two days. The reason for this was the above zero temperature, which was established a week ago on a glacier with a height of more than three kilometers. Such that it rose above zero has never happened.
