The world is heading towards a dire situation. It is an ‘unlivable’ situation. Studies and hypotheses scientists have warned that by 2070, the world’s temperature will rise to the point where it is impossible to live. It is also predicted that by 2070, more than three billion people will have to experience the adverse effects. Scientists have shown that billions of people will have to live in places with “unlivable” temperatures.
COP stands for United Nations Conference on Climate Change
At a time when COP or the United Nations Conference on Climate Change is about to be held, it is also possible to see a situation where the discussion about this is going on vigorously. Representatives of 200 countries are going to participate in this conference. The conference, held every year since 1995, is an occasion for extensive discussions regarding global climate change and the measures to be taken to reduce it. However, there is a debate as to whether the contribution made by the states is sufficient to implement the decisions taken globally and bring their benefits to the world.
The first COP conference was held in Berlin, Germany, and this year the COP 28 conference will be held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. “Transition to Clean Energy” is the theme of this conference.
If greenhouse gas emissions are not controlled, the situation is serious
However, researchers have pointed out that the situation could become dire if steps are not taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They predict that due to its influence, many people will have to live under a climate of more than 29 degrees Celsius in the future.
Considering the history of 6,000 years, this is emerging as an “unfit” condition for people to live. Therefore, the researchers have pointed out that climate change needs to be addressed with a human face.
Tim Lenton, a researcher who has conducted studies on future changes, has pointed out that the global temperature is likely to rise by about 03 degrees Celsius in the current situation. He has also mentioned that the temperature is increasing by three degrees Celsius even in the countries working according to the Paris Climate Agreement. In the meantime, the researchers who say that climate conditions can change the least populated regions have shown that many things are likely to be determined by the nature of the temperature rise.
Here are the danger zones
Northern Australia, India, Africa, South America and the Middle East, as well as countries in the Asian region, may be severely affected. The world’s largest ice block may break up if such a situation occurs. Meanwhile, the land is warming faster than the ocean, and hot spots like sub-Saharan Africa could become high-risk zones. In the future, those regions will have to live under sweltering weather conditions. Compared to global warming, the human body’s temperature also increases; thus, humans will have to get used to living under a temperature generally higher than 07 degrees Celsius.
In such a situation, staying away from activities such as agriculture and giving up hard work is possible. Researchers point out that in such a situation, the impact of climate change will be strongly felt as a matter that affects the entire system, including the maintenance of the global economy.
