The researcher says the climate crisis causes new mass extinction
If the effects of climate change cannot be repelled, the earth is in a mass -extinction, as in the Permian period (299 and 251 million years ago), when about 90% of species fail to get out of serious conditions.
This warning is one of the Director of the Center for Health and Human Performance at the University College, University College, England 2024 Lancet on the health and climate change of scientific publication.
The scholar inaugurated the Healthy Futures Global Summit, an international incident on Health and Climate on Tuesday (8) in Rio de Janeiro. Brazil has been selected to host the meeting because it receives 30th United Nations meeting About climate change (Cap 30), in November.
Montgomery emphasized that this extension is already taking place – “The planet is the largest and fastest that has not yet been seen, and we are causing this,” he said. However, if the global average temperature rise reaches 3 ° C than the industrial level, the death of species will reach disaster. In 2024, We have reached a record increase of 1.5 ° CAnd scientists are assessing Greenhouse air emissionThis increase should reach 2.7 ° C to 2100.
.
And, according to Montgomery, other serious consequences greatly affect the earth before this. “If we reach a temporary, an increase between 1.7 ° C and 2.3 between C, we have a Sudden fall of ice layers From the Arctic. We know that it can cause a significant slowdown in the southern circulation of Atlantic, which depends on our atmosphere in the coming 20 or 30 years, which causes an increase in sea level in several meters, with disaster consequences. ”
It attracts attention to other causes of global warming, with methane emission, with a gas with a gas with 83 times more harmful potential than carbon dioxide, mainly released during natural gas exploration. The English scientist has also argued that the global economy needs immediate depotation measures, which should reduce the impact of climate change by 20% or 2049 to $ 38 trillion per year.
Hugh Montegomery predicts that it is important to think about the actions that are in line with climate change, because they are already affecting the population health of the population today, “but it cannot be done on emissions severely and instantly, because we need to focus only on the relief of symptoms when we are healing.”
