Greenhouse gases will double after two decades

Ice melts in Antarctica during the warming of the Earth as the greenhouse gas builds up

The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted to the sky will increase by 52% by 2030, unless the world takes immediate measures to reduce energy consumption, a study has warned. Meanwhile, another observation shows that the world's largest iceberg has broken into pieces.

The forecast is given in the latest annual report of the International Energy Agency (IEA) on the World Energy Outlook. Accordingly, if at the current rate of consumption, energy demand will increase more than 50% in the next 25 years.

The IEA said oil prices would " basically " increase unless there were new investments in fuel plants. This situation is the result of many years of " improper investment " for both oil extraction and refining facilities.

" These trends are of great importance and lead to an unsustainable future " - IEA director Claude Mandil said - " We have to change these situations and drive the Earth towards a sustainable energy path. strong ".

At the same time as the IEA report, the European Space Agency said the largest ever considered ice sheet in the world - the B-15A on Adare's nose, Antarctica - broke into small pieces . The most recent photo released by the agency shows that this 115-kilometer bottle of iceberg split into nine blade-shaped pieces and numerous other small pieces on October 27-28. Many scientists believe that the phenomenon of ice melting and breaking is a consequence of the global warming process, as the greenhouse gas accumulates on a large scale.
