The history of climate change on Earth will help predict global cataclysms
Scientists have found a new way to predict large-scale natural disasters. They analyzed the history of climate change on our planet over the past several thousand years, according to Nation News.
Experts from different countries took part in the study. They noted that in order to predict the future, one must look into the past.
The authors have already compiled an overview of climate change that has had a significant impact on life on Earth. These included the so-called Belling-Allered warming. It happened 15 thousand years ago. Then the sea level rose by more than 100 meters, and many species of animals migrated to the north.
The study showed that before approaching the climatic “point of no return”, the precipitation regime changed, and the dynamics of ocean currents slowed down. Such phenomena are also noted in the modern world and may indicate impending global changes.
Other scientific work has shown that the Earth could return to the Paleogene. This is the era of global warming, when the ancestors of many modern species, such as marsupials and ungulates, as well as megafauna, appeared.
