Cruel consequences when the Earth temperature is 4 degrees Celsius

The temperature of the Earth may rise to 4 degrees Celsius by 2060 and will bring devastating consequences if governments do not act urgently to cope with the effects of climate change.

The above warning is given by the World Bank (WB) in the report published November 18.

In the report, the World Bank outlined the serious impacts that regions in the world will suffer if global temperatures rise by 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century. Russia and the US more often, the Mediterranean temperature may rise 9 degrees Celsius higher than the present, ocean acidification increases record and seriously threatens coral reefs and lagoons. destroy marine ecosystems.

The report also warned that rising global temperatures would cause sea levels to rise by nearly 1m and cause flooding in countries such as Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Madagascar, Mexico, the Philippines, Venezuela and Vietnam, and at the same time. resulting in water pollution, constant crop loss and increasing epidemics.

Addressing the press at a conference to publish the report, WB President Jim Yong Kim emphasized: "We will never be able to eradicate poverty without addressing climate change. This is one. of the biggest challenges for society today ".

The head of the World Bank urged people and governments to take urgent and powerful actions to cut harmful emissions causing greenhouse effects as well as reduce dependence on coal mining and work towards production. clean energy.

According to statistics, the Earth's temperature has risen 0.8 degrees Celsius by greenhouse gases and reached a record high in the last decade, causing natural disasters to occur more frequently. It is expected that from November 26 to December 7, about 200 countries will meet in Qatar's Doha capital to reach a consensus on the Kyoto Protocol extension that will expire at the end of 2012.
