Humanity is heading towards the abyss: scientists make a bleak forecast for the future
An international team of over 200 researchers has published a new report on global climate change. The report highlights trillions of dollars in climate-related losses, billions of people facing difficulties worldwide, and millions of lives lost due to Earth's warming. Consequently, scientists have concluded that humanity is on a path towards disaster.
SSPDaily tells about it.
The study's authors emphasize that some of the most critical ecosystems are currently teetering on the brink of significant changes. For instance, the Greenland ice sheets have such a low threshold for collapse that they could act as triggers for cascading effects that propagate globally, leading to the collapse of other systems.
Furthermore, scientists have uncovered evidence suggesting that even minor fluctuations in greenhouse gas concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere in the past had far-reaching consequences. These changes altered various regions of the Earth, from sea levels to entire ecosystems.
Researchers warn that ecological collapse will likely take place by the end of the century. It is noteworthy that over the past few decades, scientists have repeatedly warned about the impending climate collapse that humanity will likely face. It has been anticipated that in the foreseeable future, people will face extreme climatic conditions and unprecedented temperatures caused by human-induced climate change.
