Half of the earth may become dead before 2300

Climate change can turn half of the world into a land of death due to rising temperatures, scientists warn.

According to Telegraph, researchers at the University of New South Wales in Australia and Purdue University in the US have just published a study showing that global warming will continue after 2100, the farthest time previous predictions taken into account.

In fact, many countries will turn into deserts when the temperature increases by 12 ^o C. People will not be able to adapt or survive in such conditions.

Professor Tony McMichael, one of the authors of the research, said if the world continues to emit greenhouse gases at the current level, the disaster will come.

'Under the possible scenario before 2300, we will face a temperature rise of 12 ^° C and even more. If this happens, immediate concerns about sea level rise, unusual heat waves, forest fires, loss of biodiversity, and agricultural difficulties will be nothing compared to a major threat. more - that is about half of the land where people live on Earth today will not be able to live anymore because of overheating , " McMichael said.

Professor Steven Sherwood, who joined the study with McMichael, said that Earth's temperature would not be so high in this century. But he also predicted that by 2300, it is likely that the temperature would rise at least 7 ^degrees Celsius and that would be enough to turn many places into dead lands.

'In the long run, the possibility of that scenario is 50%,' Sherwood said.

Sherwood commented that climate change studies proved quite 'short-sighted' when not predicting the long-term consequences of the effects of emissions, the culprit of global warming. 'This issue needs attention, although we cannot do much to control climate change in the next two decades'.
