For 80 years many cities will be flooded by water and many more by drought!
The world may face devastating climate change. This is the result of the University of Washington study, published in the journal Nature Climate Change.
Scientists who participated in the research, with 90 percent confidence, say the temperature will increase from 2-4.9 degrees Celsius - compared to the period before the industrial revolution. This development will not stop the measures taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
At the moment, scientists believe the world will be hit by devastating effects of drought, extreme weather conditions, and dangerous sea level rise.
Increasing the temperature by two degrees is considered the point after which the changes will become unstoppable. While, we will certainly not be able to stop heating at 1.5 degrees Celsius, as provided for in the Paris Climate Agreement. Even with 99 percent it is likely that the heat will pass that line.
Dr. Dargan Frierson says even with 1.5 degrees world will have problems with lifestyle. While, it adds with conviction that the temperature will increase even more.
Researchers reviewed data on population and economic activity in the last 50 years to create this prediction. Considering the "carbon intensity" or the amount of carbon emitted per dollar of economic activity.
This approach is different from that used by researchers of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
"Our analysis is in line with previous projections, but it shows that optimistic scenarios are unlikely to occur. We are uphill, "says Professor Adrian Raferty, who led the University of Washington team. "The goals set out in the Paris Accord are ambitious and realistic. But the bad news is that they are not enough to keep the heat below 1.5 degrees. "
Another recent study shows that even if fossil fuels fall this year, by the end of the century the temperatures will rise to 1.3 degrees Celsius.
"13 percent are the chances that the Earth by 2100 will be warmer than 1.5 degrees," Dr. Thorsten Maurits, from the Max Planck Institute in Germany.
On the other hand, Business insider has compiled a video that shows how big cities for only 80 years can be flooded by water.
"Hundreds of major cities in the world may disappear. In the United States, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Gavelstone may perish forever ... ", it says.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Research Agency (NOA) has earlier warned of extreme sea level elevations that could hit 670 coastal countries.

STOPAwesome post by the way. They say that global warming is going to change everything and I really do believe that it is. They were also saying that in about 50 years the ocean is going to be too acidic for us to be swimming in it so that's going to play a major part of this Global change and the ecosystem. Also they were saying that there's a very very low count of bees which pollinate flowers which is going to be a big old chain reaction to the ecosystem as well. So about a hundred years who knows what Earth is going to be like living here.
Good work nice post
I will go in mountains.
