10 hot warning signs for humanity about self-made disasters

Unexpected events occurring in 2022 are a warning of an apocalypse that humans will face, of our own creation.

Live Science has pointed out 10 terrifying findings that show that if we do not quickly change planet-destroying behaviors, humanity will face climate disasters that seem to only exist in doomsday movies. .

1. Zombie virus revives

Many ancient viruses have seen the Sun again after thousands, tens of thousands of years of being "sealed" in eternal ice. A recent study has shown that 13 such species are strong enough to rise from Siberian permafrost. Some species are completely capable of mutating to create a new catastrophic disease for humans, because our immune system is completely "naked" in front of these species that seem to have disappeared a long time ago.

2. The land sinks into the sea

Sea level rise to the point of turning many crowded cities of modern people into lagoons is real. Estimates show that water levels in US coastal areas could increase an average of 30 cm by 2050, becoming a major disaster for areas like Miami. That will be a common fate for many other cities in other countries, the cause is still climate change.

3. Glaciers disappear

Iconic national parks Yellowstone and Yosemite could lose their glaciers entirely by 2050, according to a forecast from the United Nations, with the threat of half the world's glaciers disappearing in the same year. time.

4. Climate chaos

It is an erratic and extreme climate phenomenon that upsets previous forecast models when pushed to a critical point. In the worst-case scenario, future Earth will suffer seasonal changes as violent as those of alien worlds

5. Polar bears dive in trash

The image that is happening in the Arctic is clear evidence that the Earth is becoming a giant landfill, pushing species to the point where there is no longer any place to live - and the future could be us.

6. Worse weather

Summers filled with heat waves and winters dozens of degrees deep in snowstorms like the US and some other countries have endured this year may just be the beginning, as climate change is nurturing monster storms. , increasing droughts and floods due to extreme weather patterns.

7. Penguins are on the brink of extinction

The emperor penguin, the symbol of Antarctica, has just joined the ranks of threatened and endangered species, showing how quickly the Earth is "melting".

8. The sixth mass extinction

The Earth is heading towards the sixth mass extinction with millions of species disappearing in a short period of time. At the current rate of temperature increase, it is predicted that by the year 2500, a mass extinction similar to the great extinction of dinosaurs will cover the whole world.

9. Point of "no return"

There will be a death mark that if crossed, the Earth's climate will change forever and cannot be recovered. There are 16 main critical points to "unlock" this door of death, including the melting of ice in the Arctic and Antarctica, the death of coral reefs. They are happening.

10. "Doomsday" glacier

Thwaites, which has the more ominous nickname "Doomsday glacier", is considered a death clock for the Earth, enough to cause sea levels to rise more than 3 meters if it melts. It is melting extremely fast and is likely to be separated from West Antarctica.
