What is the coldest place on the earth's continent? I believe that the first thing that comes to mind is the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and indeed, these two areas are almost cold and frozen all year round. However, as the climate changes, what we think of as cold areas are also losing their cold, and temperatures are getting higher and higher. And this scene means that the "tipping point" of our earth's climate is getting closer and closer.
This is bad news for humans or other life forms on Earth. Once the climate is "irreversible", it is basically impossible for life to survive. In the face of changes in the Earth, it is true that some scientists are also calling for migration to other celestial bodies, and are moving in this direction.
However, so far, no celestial body suitable for human habitation has been found. Therefore, we still have to protect the earth and think about other problems. However, the earth's climate problems are becoming more and more serious.
The Arctic is determined to be 38 degrees high! Why are humans upset?
According to the World Meteorological Organization, it was determined that in June 2020, one of the coldest regions in the northern hemisphere, verkhoyansk, a marginal town in northeastern Siberia, Russia, recorded a 38-degree heat. It has been determined to be the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic. It is hard to imagine that such a high temperature would appear in the Arctic, can the Arctic still maintain a cold situation? This is completely impossible.
Large-scale ice sheets will all undergo massive meltdowns under the unstable state of Arctic temperatures, triggering a "climate ripple effect" and triggering a wider range of extreme climate change. So, there's really not much time to change the climate.
In 2018, the United Nations issued a proclamation to save the planet, and humanity has 12 years left, in terms of time. This is about to be 2022, which is equivalent to another 4 years, and there are only 8 years left for human beings to change the earth.
Therefore, we can see the extreme heat of 38 degrees, which means that the climate alarm bell is sounded again, and humans may have changed the climate for less than 8 years. Moreover, in addition to the Arctic, many parts of the world are also experiencing abnormal temperature breakthroughs.
For example, the World Meteorological Organization is investigating some heat records, including 54.4°C recorded in Death Valley, California, this year and last year, and 48.8 degrees Celsius in Sicily, southern Italy, which is probably the hottest temperature ever recorded in Europe.
Therefore, these data all illustrate the problem that the Earth's climate is becoming more and more unstable, and the average global temperature in 2020 is about 14.9 °C, which is 1.2 (±0.1) °C higher than the pre-industrial (1850-1900) level, and the global average temperature in 2019 is about 1.1 °C higher than in the pre-industrial period.
According to this trend, it is possible that the global average temperature will hit a new high again in 2021, and the time for human beings to change the climate is not much, and they can no longer wait, so that everyone will face "punishment" from the climate, which is where human beings feel uneasy, because the climate problem is getting more and more serious
Earth Pandora's Box Opened? The remains of more than 4 prehistoric creatures were exhumed
As the earth's climate change intensifies, indeed, we see signs of the opening of pandora's box on the earth, the continuous release of the corpses of various ancient creatures, and the emergence of ancient bacteria, which are not good phenomena and may have a great impact on us, and human beings should really be vigilant.
And the bacteria we know, more than 4 kinds of prehistoric biological remains, you should have heard of it. They are all dug up in permafrost under the condition of climate change.
First, in 2007, a 41,800-year-old mammoth was discovered on the Yamal Peninsula in the Russian Arctic, named Lyuba by scientists, and completely preserved.
Second, in 2011, the Yukagir tribe in northern Siberia found a complete bison skeleton, which, judging from the published images, also has a complete structure, which is also sealed in permafrost and released after melting.
Third, in 2015, the remains of a juvenile long-haired rhinoceros (woolly rhinoceros) were found in Siberia, which is initially estimated to be tens of thousands of years old.
Fourth, in 2017, the "cave lion" of about 30,000 years old Ice Age was discovered.
In addition to these, the remains of ancient creatures such as prehistoric ponies have been found. Therefore, the earth's climate changes have triggered the appearance of large-scale ancient biological corpses, and the remains of more than 4 kinds of prehistoric creatures have been presented to everyone.
As long as human beings continue to have an impact on the earth's climate, resulting in the escalation of the extreme climate of the Arctic Circle, then sooner or later the Pandora's box of the earth may be opened, and what we see may not be limited to the remains of these ancient creatures, but also the bacteria that threaten the survival of human beings. So you can't wait for the climate to change, you have to accelerate.
The frequent occurrence of extreme weather in 2021 proves once again that human beings need to be vigilant
In 2021, we also see extreme climates re-emerging, in addition to the above-mentioned high temperatures in North America, at least 43 cities in southern Brazil have snowfall or freezing rain, and many regions have also seen snowfall. How rare is it that 80% of Brazil, which is located in the tropics, can experience snowfall? Local residents said " I'm 62 years old and have never seen snow before" .
There is also a sudden wildfire in southwest Australia, the fire is burning again, I really can't imagine that Australia will not repeat the "fire disaster".
No, this 2021 is coming to an end, and 6 states in the central United States have been hit by at least 30 tornadoes on the night of December 10, and tornado disasters have killed more than 100 people and so on.
This all shows that under the climate change, the frequent occurrence of extreme climate in 2021 once again proves that human beings need to be vigilant, and the severity of the climate is already in front of us. If this continues, there will be more natural disasters on earth in the future.
Therefore, the climate problem has become a global problem, not a problem of one person, and it needs to accelerate the change of climate, and time is really running out.
