what awaits us

According to ruthless new calculations, only in the current century, from various catastrophes caused by global warming, about 1 billion people will diemost of them are poor and residents of the southern countries of the world.

Analyzing 180 studies on climate change and mortality from Canada and Austria, researchers came to such a dismal conclusion. As a result of the analysis, they came to the conclusion of the “1000 tons rule”; This means that for every 1,000 tons of fossil fuel burned, one person dies. Based on this rule, the researchers concluded that if the planet warms by 2 degrees Celsius or more by 2100, about 1 billion people will die prematurely.

According to scientists, people will die from a series of disasters.

Storms and floods cause epidemics and directly and indirectly cause deaths. Drought kills when drinking water or food runs out. Rising sea levels are causing deaths as people are forced to leave their land and become migrants. In all these cases, poverty and climate change together lead to human deaths,
– says the article of scientists.

What should the world do in the face of a possible disaster? Scientists say we need to take energy policy seriously to radically limit carbon emissions.

• Today we have many agreements between countries to reduce carbon emissions. However, it cannot be said that they were very successful. Especially since not all countries participate in them.
• In addition, we do not yet have technologies that are effective enough to absorb greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Few plants operating today are able to absorb pollutants so small that they are literally invisible on the total scale of emissions. The US will build several new and much more powerful carbon capture plants for $1.2 billion, but that will take a long time and still not be enough to offset all the emissions the country itself emits, let alone another world. There also remains methane, whose effect on the planet is much more dangerous than CO2.₂and we don’t have a solution for it yet.
