Stephen Hawking warned that oceans could be boiling

Hawking said that the Earth could become the second Venus with the ocean depleted and acid rain due to climate change.

British physicist Stephen Hawking warned of the extreme change in Earth's climate in a recent interview, LiveScience reported on July 5.

"We are near the irreversible point of global warming . President Donald Trump's action can push the Earth beyond the limit and become a planet like Venus with a temperature of 250 degrees Celsius with rain. Hawking acid , " Hawking commented on Mr. Trump's declaration to withdraw the US from the 2015 Paris treaty on climate change.

Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system with temperatures up to 466 degrees Celsius due to the dense atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid clouds that trap heat inside.

The amount of solar radiation absorbed is greater than the amount that causes the steam to concentrate in the Venus atmosphere, increasing heat absorption and uncontrolled warming. According to scientists, in theory, the same process can take place in the Earth after hundreds of millions of years, but the ability of the Earth ocean to evaporate to exhaustion is very low. The Earth is farther away from the Sun and cannot have the atmosphere of Venus because of the planet's chemical structure.

Experts say Hawking may have talked too much about the future of the Earth, but could still be concerned about the risk of climate change."Hawking's big idea is that we can turn most of the Earth into a place where we can't survive without climate change being certain," said Michael Mann, climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, USA. to speak.
